Mona de Pascua

Celebrations in Spain, just as in other gastronomic cultures of the world, are closely associated with certain sweet recipes. During Semana Santa, as well as "torrijas," other sweets such as the "mona de Pascua" Easter cake (symbolizing the feast after Lent) and its chocolate equivalent, "mona de chocolate," are also popular, particularly in Catalan and Valencian culture.
