InvalidArgumentException in SQLiteConnector.php line 34: Database (homestead) does not exist

I am following the Series Laravel 5 from scratch in Laracasts and I am, in specific, on the lesson "Fetching Data".

I created the database.sqlite file, I added some data from the tinker and was able to retrieve them in the console. Then, I try to replicate what the video does.

My cards controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use App\Http\Requests;

class CardsController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $cards = \DB::table('cards')->get();
        return view('cards.index', compact('cards'));
    }
}

However, when I try to load the /cards route I have the following error

InvalidArgumentException in SQLiteConnector.php line 34:
Database (homestead) does not exist.

This is my env file
