Bábovka

Bábovka is a traditional Czech coffee cake that would usually be served on a Sunday afternoon alongside with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate (whichever you might prefer). It is quick, easy and pretty yummy!

There are various kinds of bábovka (classical vanilla-chocolate combination, walnut bábovka…) yet I opted for an all-chocolate one (cocoa powder to be precise). Follow the recipe below, if you would like to give the Czech bábovka a try… 😉
