Pomegranate seeds cake (Cake con granadas)

 

I thought about publishing this post on Mother's Day which was yesterday but it was impossible .

Sometimes it happens, we want to do more things than we have time.

And I notice that I get more tired. 

First, here in the house you always have to do and perhaps this pandemic exhausts us all.

We have been around for more than a year. In any case I try to keep the spirit.

Going to ourrecipe, you already know that  always take advantage of the fruits of the season and also others, this time it is the pomegranates, I  find them all so beautiful, the color, the flavor and how well they are in the recipes.

I had some pomegranates and also a neighbor gave me one the other day and finally Gerardo (hubby) says:

 Guess what I brought you and they were lovely pomegranates, someones were small but precious.

 Sometimes I  freeze someones to have at Christmas because there are many Christmas desserts with pomegranates.

I have to say that this cake lasted only one day, I don't know why everyone loved it.
