How did your week begin? Fantastically phenomenal, I hope. Mine couldn’t have started any better, but I’m back exhausted. This little getaway we have made to Malaga has been great. If I were to summarize it briefly, I would say that I have laughed a lot, and this would be inversely proportional to what I have slept, that is, very little. That’s why we’ll have to charge our batteries with a nice piece of this milk chocolate and pomegranate tart<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I had been waiting a long time for the pomegranate season to come back so I could bake a cake with them.\u00a0 It has always seemed to me that the combination of both is great, not to mention how beautiful its grains are. Red, smooth, shiny… almost like little rubies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So as soon as my parents gave me pomegranates from their garden, the taste and color of these has nothing to do with what I can buy in fruit shops, I made the cake.<\/p>\n

The recipe is very simple to prepare.<\/h5>\n

To make this cake we will not need ingredients or complex processes. In fact, we will do some elaborations that I have left you before, so you will be familiar with them.<\/p>\n

The base is a p\u00e2te sucr\u00e9e<\/em> of cocoa with almonds<\/strong>, very easy to carry out and I have already left you for other cakes such as banoffee<\/a>, orange, apricot and chocolate tart<\/a>…. Sometimes even varying the almonds for ground hazelnuts. This same base can be prepared without cocoa powder as in this brownie tart with caramel popcorn<\/a>. But I thought that for this particular recipe, you’d be better off with a cocoa base.<\/p>\n

The filling is a milk chocolate ganache and a pinch of cinnamon<\/strong>. Easy, creamy, delicious and with a touch of spice perfect to enhance the sweetness of chocolate. And end up falling madly in love, everything will be said.<\/p>\n

The decoration<\/strong> will be done with a dark chocolate ganache, pomegranate, petals of edible flowers (this is totally optional) and dried meringues.<\/p>\n

We could say that this tart is the perfect tart for those days when we crave chocolate.<\/h5>\n

It combines several two types of chocolate, even a cocoa base with a slightly bitter point, which together give a wonderful result if you are chocolate lovers. Pomegranate brings a fresh, lively, fruity flavor, with a totally different sweetness to that which we achieve with chocolate. I don’t think I’d find a better way to start the day than this.<\/p>\n

Today I leave you again a song and it is one that I remember from my childhood. I’ve always loved music since I was very young. One of the things I liked to do best was to record VHS tapes (t’s rained a lot since then!) with video clips. I had a lot of them that lasted four hours.<\/p>\n

I remember watching the 40’s (Spanish channel), MTV and similar channels, sitting with my sister and watching videos to record the ones we liked. What lovely memories.<\/p>\n

I’ll never forget the first time I heard Annie Lennox’s song “No more I Love you\u00b4s”<\/a>, I thought it was great! And the video clip so different from others I’d seen… It was amazing. Anyway, I heard it again the other day after a lot of years and I wanted to share it with you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
