Once the cake is lukewarm and out of its tin, prepare the cross of Saint James to decorate it: Draw a cross on a sheet of paper and cut it out. Place the cross in the centre of the cake and with the help of a colander dust the cake with icing sugar. Remove the paper cross and fill the space with ground cinnamon. Just like in the Michelin guide! Exquisite!
