A baba cake, also known as a babka or savarin, is a delicious and classic dessert that originated in France. It is a light and fluffy cake that is soaked in a rum syrup, making it not only tasty but also a bit boozy. If you’ve never made a baba cake before, don’t worry, it is actually quite simple.

To make a baba cake, you will need the following ingredients:

– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 eggs
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup rum

To make the cake:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix together until well combined.

3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until frothy.

4. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.

5. Gradually add the milk, mixing until the batter is smooth.

6. Grease a baba cake mold or bundt pan with a bit of butter or cooking spray.

7. Pour the batter into the mold or bundt pan, filling it about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way full.

8. Place the mold or bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.

To make the rum syrup:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the rum and sugar.

2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

To assemble the cake:

1. Once the cake has cooled, use a fork or skewer to poke several holes all around the cake.

2. Slowly pour the rum syrup over the cake, making sure to fill all the holes and completely coat the cake.

3. Let the cake sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the syrup.

4. Carefully remove the cake from the mold or bundt pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

5. Serve the baba cake with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries on top.

In conclusion, making a baba cake may seem intimidating at first, but it is actually quite simple. Just follow these easy steps and you’ll have a delicious and boozy dessert that everyone will love. And the best part? You can customize the recipe to your liking by adding different flavors to the rum syrup or by topping the cake with your favorite fruits or sauces. So go ahead, give it a try and impress your friends and family with your baking skills!
