Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar using an electric hand or stand mixer until they become pale and fluffy, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3: Combine the almond flour, cinnamon, and lemon zest, ensuring they are mixed thoroughly.

Step 4: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5: Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the top turns golden and crunchy.

Step 6: While the cake is baking, trace your stencil and cut it out. I just used a picture from the internet to trace the stencil.

Step 7: Allow the cake to cool in the pan. Once completely cooled, carefully remove it from the pan.

Step 8: Position a paper stencil of Santiago’s cross on the cake’s surface and sprinkle powdered sugar all over. Gently lift off the stencil to reveal the cross shape on the cake.
