Cake.
Me and cake go way back. My favorites were always the buttercream icing on a birthday cake, the crunches inside a Carvel cake, and even the sugar flowers that topped them. Let’s be honest, I never passed on a piece of cake.
Do you know that Babka is another favorite of mine? Warm it up for 10 seconds and its oozing with chocolatey goodness…. right Dad?
Do you know what a Babka is?
I believe it’s either a Jewish or Polish cake, but you can Google it!
It’s a sweet yeasty dough that has cinnamon, chocolate, raisins or even nuts twisted inside. Lets just call it heaven on a plate.
OMG I could literally eat the entire pan. It’s cakey and chocolatey all in one bite, and definitely not low carb. So these days I steer clear.
Until now.
When Babka meets low-carb, it becomes a household favorite for everyone! Including my hubby, the chocolate lover!
While trying out different recipes, so many memories were brought to my mind!
Maybe it was the smell, or my end goal, whatever it was, I felt so good baking this.
I hope you enjoy it also!
