Ukrainian Old-Fashioned Honey Babka
Ukrainian Old-fashioned Honey Babka: sweet, fluffy, moist; topped with a creamy frosting for that extra incredible taste. The easiest and the best honey dessert you’ll ever taste!
Babka is very often shaped into molds and baked for Easter, but it can also be made in a regular baking sheet (like I did) and served anytime of the year. It has a spongy texture and reminds me a lot of the honey sponge cake.
The sweet and honey aroma around the house during the baking process just puts me through the roof. I was especially surprised when I saw how much my kiddos love it. The perfect square size is kid friendly and can also be served as a hand held dessert.
I remember I used to bake this babka quite often for my brothers when I was a teenager. They loved me more for making all these goodies for them all the time . I didn’t top with any frosting back then and it was still super delicious without it. All we needed was a cup of coffee.
