  1. OMG bábovka is not coffee cake, is not pound cake, bábovka is a BUNDT CAKE!!
    You misunderstood something! Bábovka has never ever ever this shape. This what you made is ‘kolac’ (cake), or ‘dort’ (cake), in Czech slang they call it also ‘buchta’.

    1. Thank you, my friend. I so appreciate your special comment. 😇🥰🥰

  2. I would have to eat this in the morning, but I’m OK with that 😉 The issue would be picking out a sauce – they all sound so amazing! Happy New Year, darlin’ – hope to see you in Cali at the next Dole Cookoff 🙂

    1. Yes, can’t wait to see you again in June at CAC! Just go w/vanilla ice cream…it makes this cake rock!! Thank you, Priscilla, for being so devoted and a good foodie friend…xo

  3. Ally, your Babovka took me back to my Grandma’s kitchen — and yours, with your ingenious modifications. A steaming cup of coffee and a slice of this cake… aahhhhhhh. Thanks for the memories.

    1. Yes, my sweeet Boho girrleee w/the real blood running through your veins…when we’re finally cooking together somewhere somehow, we’ll toast our Grandmothers and Moms and thank them for giving us this glorious gift of food! xox
