RECIPE
Ingredients:
5 Egg, large
1 cup + 2 tablespoons (225g) Sugar
2½ cups (250g) Ground almonds
Lemon zest from one lemon
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Pinch Salt

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). line a 9-inch (22-23cm) springform pan with parchment on the bottom and rub the bottom and sides with butter.
2. In a large bowl place eggs, lemon zest and sugar. Whisk until light and pale, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add ground almonds, salt, cinnamon and mix until combined and smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and place in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
5. Meanwhile, make the cross stencil, I will add a printable version on my website.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
7. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake generously with powdered sugar. To create the traditional Tarta de Santiago look, you can place a cut-out of the Santiago cross in the center of the cake before dusting with powdered sugar, then carefully remove the template to reveal the design.
8. Serve and enjoy!

Salteña (Bolivia). Salteñas were one of the things I missed the most when I lived abroad.

Hi David!
As you know by now, i am Swedish. We love swedish meatballs with boiled potatoes or with mashed potatoes. We serve it with lingonberry jam. And also with a sauce.
I would also like to wish for a rice salad recipe, although it's not really swedish. But i love rice, and to match it with veggies and maybe a meat, is awesome.
Big love from Sweden ❤🎉❤🎉🐱🐱
