Ooh I love babka but haven’t ever veered away from the standard chocolate. This seems like a good flavor to try

Oh yes it is SOOOO good and even that bit easier than making the chocolate filling – I'm a lazy cook ;)

“Usually if I’m baking, I’m making them cake. And it’s the same cake over and over, the only one they’ll eat: a perfectly serviceable, if not very exciting, chocolate cake.” With butter cream icing - that’s the main reason my “them” asks me to bake chocolate cake.

This looks insanely delicious! How likely are my non-chef/baker hands to seize up from 10mins kneading?! 🤣
