What is a Tarta de Santiago? Tarta de Santiago, or St. James’ cake, is a traditional Spanish dessert from Santiago de Compostela in the region of Galicia. Those who have walked the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James Pilgrimage) are probably familiar with this delicious cake.
This cake is found throughout the city of Santiago and is best when enjoyed with a cup of coffee. Now you can enjoy this treat without traveling thousands of miles to Spain! Our delicious recipe will transport you to the Iberian Peninsula.
This delicious and hearty cake is made using the traditional Galician guidelines of using at least 33% high quality almonds, we do not use wheat or any form of flour.
