Prepare the ingredients:<\/strong><br>Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C (fan assisted). Grease a 24cm diameter bundt pan with butter and lightly dust with flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Cream butter and sugar:<\/strong><br>In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Add the eggs:<\/strong><br>Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. If the mixture seems to be curdling, don&#8217;t worry; it will smooth out once you add the flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Incorporate the dry ingredients:<\/strong><br>In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix on low speed to avoid incorporating too much air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Pour into the mold:<\/strong><br>Transfer the mixture into the prepared mold and level the surface with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Bake:<\/strong><br>Bake for about 40-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the oven during the first 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Cool:<\/strong><br>Let the babka cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Serving and Storage Tips:<\/strong><br>Babka is delicious freshly made, but it will keep well in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To keep it soft longer, you can wrap it in plastic wrap. It can also be stored in the refrigerator, but it is best to bring it back to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple, soft and always successful cake &#8211; perfect for any moment when you want a genuine and homemade dessert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IntroductionBabka is one of those desserts that immediately evokes the warm and welcoming atmosphere of home.
