Anyone who has ever made a pilgrimage to Spain on foot knows them…

First, preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F). Beat the eggs with the butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in the flour mixed with the baking powder, then gradually add the water, beating the batter vigorously. Stir in the ground almonds and lemon zest. Grease a 25 cm round baking pan and pour the mixture into it. (Depending on the pan, it may be beneficial to line it with baking paper.) Bake the cake for about 30 to 35 minutes, let it cool, and remove it from the pan. You’re sure to find a picture of a Jacob’s sword on an online “St. James” website. Resize it to the desired size, print it out, cut it out, and place it on the cake. Now dust the cake with powdered sugar. Remove the paper sword template and cut the cake into equal-sized pieces.
