Hot Cross Bundt Cake (cake de Pascua de resurreccion)










I was worried because it has been a difficult week, with many things and also pains.
I thought I was not going to be able to do something special for Easter
Anyway, I always do something for Easter and finally I was able to make this bundt cake  glaze for Easter.

  I know it's a little  late but it helps me to wish you Happy Easter with everyone.
God bless you all.
