This recipe is so interesting that it is called a Babka. I am Polish and Czech and our Babka is more breadlike and made with yeast and needs to rise, like bread. This recipe seems more like a cake. Sounds nice, but maybe not all that authentic? It's authentic, Diane - I think it may depend what part of Poland you're from? The woman who wrote it, Brinna Sands, is a stickler for research; and when she says something is an authentic recipe, I believe her. Anyway - isn't it nice to have two different babka recipes? :) PJH
