chocolate babka

[linderlizzie]

I wish I could   get  it here, have tried making it. but  just does not seem to turn out like the owns I have bought. don't know for sure  what is going on. Might be the flour I am using or the chocolate. One of these days when I can get to where  they sell it I am going to ask.  the disadvantages of living in a small town.  CAn't always get what you want 

There are lots of recipes online. Have you tried any of those?

Thanks for sharing that. I keep doing the captcha and had not idea what it was. Could have looked it up and may have eventually. Now i don't need to.

In case you were wondering when you did this as the captcha.

The chocolate babka is made from a doubled and twisted length of yeast dough and is typically baked in a high loaf pan. Instead of a fruit filling, the dough contains cinnamon and/or chocolate. The babka is usually topped with streusel. A similar cake called a kokosh is also popular in Jewish bakeries.

So now we know.  I hope you all are as pleased as I by this. 

Thanks for the info! I knew such a thing existed, but never gave much thought to it.

I had no idea what Chocolate Babka was when it came up as one of the captcha phrases.  I just typed and continued.  To me it doesn't sound appealing....streusel topping on fruit is more appealing to me than on chocolate.
