Description
This traditional Polish babka is a cake perfect to enjoy with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee. My version is made without yeast. It’s a moist and dense cake flavored with hints of vanilla, almond, and lemon. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired. [Recipe originally submitted to Allrecipes.pl]
