Chocolate Babka
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. I really like this recipe. An excellent cake for coffee or tea. Be sure to try it—it's very easy to prepare. Chocolate babka is considered a traditional Easter pastry. For the filling, you can use Nutella, any chocolate spread you like, or even substitute it with peanut butter, or create a chocolate-peanut mix! Alternatively, you can mix sugar and cocoa powder and sprinkle it over the dough after brushing it with soft butter. By the way, a sugar and cinnamon filling also works well. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
