Easter Chocolate Eggs

I want to make a parenthesis on my Maternity posts to talk to you about one of my favorite traditions: Easter Mona. Here in Catalonia we call it “La Mona de Pascua”

It’s a normal cake, sometimes with custard sometimes not, and a big chocolate egg with some fluffy chicken and colorful feathers.

Is not celebrated in all Spain. The tradition is found on Murcia, Valencia, Catalonia, Aragon and Castilla la Mancha.

Lately, a little toy is added to the cake. I always add an animal for my kids. This year I will be adding a two unicorns. One for my boy and other for my little girl who loves horse.
