Incredibly swirly babka recipe by nicolaalamb (winner of my babka bake off)! Comment SWIRL for the recipe 💕 I made a batch of chocolate shortbread that turned out a little too crumbly so I re-used them in the filling of 3 loaves of babka—one with Nicola’s original chocolate filling, one with bonnemaman_us chocolate hazelnut spread, and one with a chocolate hazelnut/cookie butter hybrid. Literally could not pick a fav. Love how doughy this babka gets when you heat it up and how the crumbs make the filling feel extra chocolatey and substantial. A perfect last holiday bake! #chocolatebabka #babka
