Spain may not be a country known for its desserts, but its tarta de Santiago may make you rethink your assumptions. A traditional cake from the northwest region of Galicia, this gluten-free pastry is a breeze to make and really lets the delicious flavor of ground almonds stand for itself. Its name literally means �Cake of St. James� because it�s typically adorned with the apostle�s flowery, sword-shaped cross in negative, surrounded by a delicate layer of powdered sugar.
