RECIPE • this chocolate babka is not for the faint-hearted. 🍫🍞 since I can't make it down to Breads Bakery in NYC for the OG chocolate babka, I’ll have to make do with this. it turned out like how it should be, pillowy brioche-like cake with layers of dark fudge filling, sending you into chocolate overdrive. good news during this time, babka freezes well so you can store it for up to 3 months in the freezer, pop it into the oven when the chocolate craving hits. many steps in this recipe but sure worth the while. recipe adapted from NY Times cooking (omitted the chocolate streusel, used dark chocolate and halved the sugar for the chocolate filling): cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018045-chocolate-babka plates from olivetheshop #vickiimarecipes
