Mona de Pascua / Crochet Easter Cake

En Catalunya celebramos el lunes de Pascua con "la mona", un pastel con huevos de chocolate que los padrinos regalan a sus ahijados, según manda la tradición. Este año ha sido especial para mi pequeña que tuvo dos monas: la primera la hizo Kikacakes (www.kikacakes.blogspot.com) y consistía en un sabroso pastel de queso con cobertura de chocolate y un huevo de chocolate y plumas de colores a modo de decoración. No os puedo enseñar ninguna foto porque no dejamos ni una miga ;-). Estaba buenísima!!!. La segunda se la hice yo con crochet. Esta no nos la comimos y lo bueno es que la podemos disfrutar todo el año...espero que os guste tanto como a ella!!

In Catalonia we celebrate our Easter Monday with a cake that we call "la mona". It's a chocolate cake decorated with chocolate eggs. This year has been special for my little lady because she was given two Easter cakes: the first one was made by Kikacakes -have a look at (www.kikacakes.blogspot.com)- and consisted of a delicious cheese cake with a chocolate frosting and a chocolate egg and coloured feathers as a decoration. I'm sorry I can't show you any pictures because we didn't leave  even a crumb ;-). It was delicious!. The second Easter cake I made it with crochet. It doesn't taste as sweet as the first one but the good thing about it is that  we can enjoy it throughout the year ... I hope you like it as much as my little lady did! xoxo
