Being able to recreate desserts from your travels is one of the best parts of being a baker. I knew I wanted to create some of these desserts for myself and for my readers. And learned that almond flour is used in a lot of desserts. And even though our trip was cut short by the pandemic, I discovered a pastry shop that I visited multiple times during our short stay. In preparing for the trip to Spain I heavily anticipated the tapas, the stews, and the paella, but little was written about the pastries in Spain. Then there's the dish you tasted that still causes your mouth to water. The art you gazed at in amazement, and the park you enjoyed on a sunny afternoon. Or the conversation you had with a resident. Months or years after the trip, you remember the first time you landed in the country, the anticipation you felt as you traveled from the airport to your hotel. Memories are often the best part of a trip. The cake is delicious, moist, tastes of almonds and lemon, and the best part for some people - gluten-free. This Spanish Almond Cake, also known as Tarta de Santiago, is a tribute to the memories of a brief, but wonderful trip to Barcelona, Spain.
