What is babka?

➡️ Babka is a yeast cake, traditionally baked in Eastern Europe. The most common version is a sweet babka, made with cinnamon and sugar filling. Today, it’s sometimes used as a dessert or pastry, but the original Jewish babka was savory, served as a side dish with soup or stew.
The most traditional version is a yeast-based loaf flavored with chocolate and stuffed with a sweet filling. Contemporary versions of babka are made with sweetened bread dough instead of yeast and are flavored with everything from cinnamon to chocolate.
Some versions of babka are baked in a loaf pan, while others are twisted and baked in a circular or spiral shape.
