Steps:
- Dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm water, sprinkle the yeast over it, and let stand until softened.
- FOR THE SPONGE: Combine dissolved yeast with the lukewarm milk and 1 cup of flour.
- Beat well, cover, and allow the sponge to rise in a warm place until light and bubbly.
- Beat the eggs with the salt, add the sugar gradually, and continue beating.
- Beat in the butter and lemon rind.
- Combine this mixture with the sponge.
- Stir in the flour and KNEAD IN THE BOWL for about 10 minutes.
- This dough should be slightly thicker than for the usual babka mixture.
- Knead in the raisins.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk.
- Punch down, knead a few times, and let it rise again.
- Butter tall, round baking pans (or coffee cans) with soft butter sprinkling them lightly with fine bread crumbs and fill them ONE-THIRD FULL.
- I like to use greased parchment paper on the bottom and sides of pan.
- For this recipe you will need about 2 or 3 large coffee cans.
- If you are going to use smaller cans, you will need more of them and use your judgment to how many you will need.
- Adjust baking time for the smaller cans.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place until the dough reaches the brim of the pan.
- Brush the loaves with a beaten egg diluted with 2 Tablespoons of milk or water.
- Bake in a moderately hot oven (400 degrees F) for about 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees F.
- ,and continue baking for 40 minutes longer, or until done.
- Avoid browning the top too deeply.
- If necessary, cover with aluminum foil.
- Remove the baked loaves from the oven and let them stand in the pans for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Tip each loaf very gently from the pan onto a cloth-covered pillow.
- Do not cool the loaves on a hard surface.
- This is extremely important.
- Careless handling of the baked babka may cause it to fall or settle.
- As the loaves are cooling, change their position very gently a few times to prevent settling.
- If desired, the cooled loaves may be iced or glazed and decorated with bakers' confetti.
- This is the custom in the old country.
- Babka is always sliced in rounds across the loaf.
- The sliced bottom crust serves as a protective cover, and it is put back to prevent the loaf from drying.
- BABKA WITH PUMPKIN: This is a very old recipe, but it is worth preserving.
- Mashed pumpkin imparts a mellow, yellow color to babka and keeps it fresh and soft for days.
- A fewer number of eggs is required when pumpkin is used.
- Follow the preceding recipe for Country Babka.
- Add 1/2 to 2/3 cup of cooked, mashed pumpkin, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 1/2 cup of orange juice and about 4 eggs.
- Add enough flour to give a soft dough.
SOUR CREAM BABKA
From Cooking Light: "Russian immigrants gloried in Easter babkas - enriched yeast breads studded with dried fruits and nuts. For a more traditional babka, omit the amaretto and use dried sour cherries and candied cherries in place of cranberries and raisins." Posted for ZWT4, Eastern Europe.

Steps:
- To prepare dough, combine cranberries and amaretto in a small bowl; set aside. Heat milk over medium-high heat in a small, heavy saucepan to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove from heat; stir in sour cream. Cool to room temperature.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water, and let stand 5 minutes. Place 1/2 cup granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until thick and pale (about 2 minutes). Add milk mixture, yeast mixture, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and salt; beat until well blended.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 5 1/2 cups flour to egg mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Knead cranberry mixture, raisins, and almonds into dough. With floured hands, pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Form a 2-inch hole in center of dough; place dough in prepared pan, allowing center of Bundt pan to emerge through hole in dough. Gently press the dough into pan. Lightly coat top of dough with cooking spray; cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Uncover dough. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack.
- To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, stirring with a whisk. Remove babka from pan, and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with icing; cool completely.

- Preheat the oven to a 350°F. Line a large baking sheet (11×17) with a parchment paper and set aside (Make sure the baking sheet has an edge of approximately 1” to prevent the batter from running out). In a large bowl, beat 8 eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp salt until light and fluffy (8-10 mins on high). In a small bowl, combine and stir 2 tsps baking soda and 2 tbsps white distilled vinegar – it will fizz up. Microwave 1 cup honey for about 30 seconds. Then, add the baking soda/vinegar mixture, honey and 16 oz sour cream to the batter. Beat on low for 30-40 seconds just until combined (do not over-beat it). Sift 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour into the batter and with a mixer on low, beat just until the flour is combined. The batter will be runny and lose the fluffiness a bit, but make sure to not over-beat it otherwise the cake texture will turn out hard and won't be as fluffy.
- Pour all the batter at once into the prepared baking sheet and level to the edges with a spatula. Bake for 30-32 mins, until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Place a cooling rack over the baked cake and flip over the baking sheet. Remove the parchment paper from bottom of the cake. Place a large cutting board onto a cake and flip over again; let the babka cool. (Do not leave the cake upside down on a cooling rack for long, or it will leave cooling rack squares on top of the cake and might break/mush the top of it). Once cooled, cut off edges with a sharp knife, and cut whole babka into an even squares, to about 1.5-2”, or your desired size.
- TO MAKE THE FROSTING: In a medium bowl, combine and beat 8 oz cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar for about 1 min on low-medium speed. Add 8 oz cool whip and continue beating on high until frosting is thick, for about 5 mins.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with Wilton tip #199 attached. Pipe the frosting onto each square. Enjoy right away or refrigerate and keep enjoying for next 3-4 days!!
