in food •  7 years ago 

Today I explore a medieval recipe for Tarta de Santiago. It is made only of Almond Flour and is surprisingly light and moist.

That's looking delicious. jaggery tastes better than sugar anytime.

I have a suggestion.
We can use deseeded dates or date syrup as a sweetener as well. They work really well with the almonds.

Thank you! I have been thinking alot about the white sugar substitute and would really like to use date. I saw some date sugar in our local wholefood coop but I want to try ground up dried apricots too. Thank you very much for your interest in the recipe.

You're most welcome.

Hmmmmm declious and really need some to eat.it usually in vitamin,iron and protein

Hi Peter, This is a good cake - no flour just the protein and vitamins of almonds and eggs. I am trying to work out how to not use so much sugar.
