Strain the syrup to separate the raisins and cinnamon sticks from the liquid.

Layer biscochuelo (sponge cake) in the base of a mold.

Soak the biscochuelo with the syrup until well moistened.

Distribute raisins evenly over the soaked biscochuelo.

Add another layer of biscochuelo on top.

Pour the remaining syrup and raisins over the second layer of biscochuelo.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Remove from the refrigerator about an hour before serving to bring to room temperature.

Decorate with meringue and almonds before serving.
