Chocolate Babka

November 19, 2020 by Anna 3 Comments

This Chocolate Babka is made with sweet yeast dough and delicious chocolate filling, braided and baked until beautifully golden. This dessert is made from scratch, just like a Polish grandmother would make it!

Thanks to my easy step by step recipe, you can make it and serve for the holidays!

When it comes to holiday desserts, I tend to put a little more effort. Don’t get me wrong. It still needs to be easy but it needs to look impressive. This Chocolate Babka is just that. If you ever made cinnamon rolls from scratch, the process will look familiar. You could actually use this recipe to make amazing chocolate rolls! The filling is made with real chocolate (not Nutella!), just like a Polish grandmother would make.

Cranberry Pie

Make this Cranberry Pie for your holiday celebrations! It’s very easy and very festive. Perfect served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

This pie will be beautiful on your holiday table, next to the Pecan Pie or No-Bake Pumpkin Pie. It’s the perfect sweet ending to any Thanksgiving or Christmas feast!

Every year, as soon cranberries show up in our grocery store, I stock up. I adore these gorgeous ruby berries! They are not only healthy but can be used to make one delicious jam to enjoy on a bagel on a snowy winter morning. This year, I will also be turning them into a delicious tarty-sweet filling for this gorgeous pie. It’s very simple to make, especially if you use a store-bought pie crust as I did. You can also make a graham cracker crust. If you have more fresh cranberries on hand after making the sauce and this pie, you can also turn them into a jam or relish.

This Easy Crumb Cake with streusel topping is the best coffee cake you can make, even if you are a beginner baker. The perfect dessert to serve with coffee or tea!

If you enjoy baking coffee cakes, you may also like my Apple Crumb Cake or my Pumpkin Coffee Cake. All perfect desserts for fall!

Raise your hand if you are a crumb cake fan! I am too! It’s one of my favorite cakes to bake. It’s very easy and the streusel topping is absolutely perfect! Over the years, I perfected it and it never fails.

What I am looking for in a delicious coffee cake are a soft, fluffy cake base and a perfectly crunchy streusel topping. And while I just love the streusel, the cake layer needs to be delicious too! This one is soft, fluffy and not too sweet so it lets the crumb topping shine.
