Use a 22 cm (9-inch) round cake tin. You can spread butter or coconut oil or use baking paper. Place the cake tin upside down on the paper, draw a circle, and cut it. Place the circle inside and use butter to “glue” the lines on the side.
Place the almonds in a food processor and grind them. Remove and set aside.
Carefully peel the lime, lemon, and orange. Try just removing the zest, avoiding the white part. Place the zest in a grinder or food processor. Add a cup of the almond flour and grind it a few seconds until it is finely ground.
After grinding the citric fruit zest, add 2 teaspoons of Stevia sweetener.
Add the eggs and mix everything together until combined.
Add the reserved almond flour to the mixture and combine.
Place the mixture in the cake tin lined with the baking paper. Try to spread the mixture evenly.
Place the tin in the oven (350F/180C ) for 20 minutes or until golden.
Usually this cake is decorated with the cross of Santiago. You can print a stencil, place it on the cake, and put icing sugar on top.
