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.

It has always impressed me how the birds make their nests, how they take something from here or there,
 This little nest my husband found on the ground under some weeds.
