The chocolate migliaccio is a variant of the traditional migliaccio 🙂
Migliaccio is a dessert of Campanian origin that is prepared during the Carnival period.
It is traditionally made with semolina and in this version, cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips are added to make it more delicious.
It is a very good cake that is not too sweet because I used a moderate amount of sugar.
I am not very fond of chocolate, but if I have to choose, I prefer bitter chocolate because it doesn’t make me feel nauseous or tired.
Since we are approaching the Carnival period, after trying the traditional and savory migliaccio, I wanted to try this version 😉
Yesterday I had some time and dedicated myself to its preparation 😀
I did not use eggs and butter.
