Step 4/5

When the cake is ready remove from the oven and while both the cake and the sirup are hot use a spoon to put small portions of the sirup on the cake. The sirup should be absorbed from the baked semolina cake. Be carefull to reach the whole area of the cake until no more sirup can absorbed. You don't have to use the whole amount of the sirup. The used portion defines how sweet the cake will be. It is up to you!
