Babka is a spongy,
brioche-like yeast cake made mainly in Eastern Europe. It is
traditionally baked for Easter Sunday in Poland, Bulgaria, Macedonia,
and Albania, and for the major holidays (Christmas, Easter, New Year,
Pentecost) in Romania. Traditionally it does not have any filling, and
is glazed with a vanilla- or chocolate-flavored icing and decorated with
almonds or candied fruit, sometimes with rum added. Another version of
babka is associated with the Eastern European Jewish tradition. This
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 or chocolate. The babka is usually topped with
streusel. *
