cake Pascualina

Easter is here and the kitchen is filled with the typical dishes of these dates. The Pascualina Cake is one of the recipes that I repeat the most. And it is that although chard is not my little one's favorite vegetable, in this cake he eats it without question. Very easy and with all the vitamins of chard.

If you feel like it, you can add a few cubes of ham or chorizo.
