The two contenders, resting |
Oooh I have a winter treat to share.
Chocolate babka |
... and the cinnamon |
One of my favourite “bits” in Seinfeld is where they get
stuck in the bakery buying babka and lament that they don’t get the “superior”
babka – aka chocolate (compared to cinnamon). I obviously had to test them both
out. For science.
Did I need to make two full size babkas for two people? No.
Was it worth it? Absolutely.
The superior babka really depends on your tastes. Chocolate
is a really rich dessert-y treat, cinnamon is a slightly sweeter delight. Both
are amazing fresh. Both are amazing toasted. If you wanted to toast a slice or
two and dollop vanilla icecream on top I think that would be ridiculous.
… but sorry Seinfeld, cinnamon is the superior babka in my
house.
