*I got this Best Bake Sale Cookbook from the library…I’m in baked dessert heaven! If only I can cook them all 🙂 But the sweetest thing part ever is that all the author’s proceeds benefit the Cookies for Kid’s Cancer. This is good twist from the regular Babka. I brought this to work for morning coffee, it was a hit and got a lot of compliments from it. The texture for for is more muffin like but cupcake or muffin, I’ll take both any day. enJOY!!!
