Babka is a sweet spongy
yeast cake that
is traditionally baked for
Easter Sunday.
Babka originated in Eastern Europe and was introduced to North America
by early immigrants. Traditional babka has some type of fruit filling,
especially raisins, and is glazed with a fruit flavored icing, sometimes
with rum added. Modern babka may be chocolate or have a cheese filling.
Despite its Christian associations, babka is also popular among Jews,
particularly those with family origins in Eastern Europe.
Babka was a plot point in episode 77 of Seinfeld, in which the main
characters try to buy a chocolate babka for a dinner party but have to settle
for a cinnamon one instead. They argue with the couple who purchased the last
chocolate babka, before realising they are all attending the same dinner party.
