Steps

45 min

1

Mix the sugar with the ground almonds first.
2

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
3

Once you have a smooth, even batter, add the lemon zest and cinnamon.
4

Grease a round cake pan with oil or butter and dust it with a little flour to prevent sticking. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.
5

Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C). When done, remove from the oven and let cool.
6

To check if it's done, insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready!
7

Place the Cross of Santiago template on top of the cake and dust with powdered sugar. If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make it by blending 1/2 cup sugar (100 grams) with 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a blender until fine.

And that's it! Enjoy!
