The traditional Spanish Tarte de Santiago is made with almonds and flavored with lemons. This one is a hazelnut version with orange flavors (and it also includes butter, which the traditional Spanish recipe excludes).
Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (may use up to 3 TBSP)
  • 5 eggs, separated
  • 3 tsps hazelnut extract
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • 7 ozs hazelnuts, finely ground
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  • whole or chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • fresh orange zest or orange marmalade sauce
Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Butter 9 x 2 inch round cake pan.  Line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper and oil it lightly.

Cream butter, sugar, egg yolks, zest, and hazelnut and orange extracts until light and fluffy.  Add ground hazelnuts and stir until well-combined.  Beat egg whites until foamy.  Add cream of tartar and beat until stiff but not dry.  Add large spoonful to butter mixture and stir to loosen batter.  Gently fold in remaining whites.  Turn into prepared pan and bake until edges of cake shrink slightly from pan about 40-45 minutes.  The cake with be soft in the center.

Let cool completely in the pan. Invert onto a serving platter and remove the parchment.  Just before serving, cut Saint James pattern (rising sun or other design) from waxed paper.  Set over cake and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Gently remove paper.  Serve, if desired, with preferred garnishes: chopped/ground hazelnuts, orange zest, and/or orange marmalade/sauce.
