In short, what we are doing is a cake.
butter a 22 cm round pan. in diameter, flour, shake the mold so that the excess flour falls, fill the mold with the pasta. Bake at 180ºC for 20/25 minutes or until inserting a needle, it comes out clean, it is not advisable to open the oven for 20 minutes, since the doughs that have to rise do very badly when cold air blows.
remove from the mold and let it cool on a wire rack, so that it airs everywhere. prepare a syrup with 200 gr. of semolina sugar and 3.5 dl. of water. perfume it with kirsch. grate into coarse chips the 200 gr. of dark chocolate and put them in the refrigerator.
