Baba au rhum

Baba au rhum is a cake made from a yeast-raised dough containing flour, eggs and butter. After baking, it absorbs syrup, giving the crumb a moist, soft texture. Rum provides its characteristic flavor; it may be added to the cake separately from the syrup.[1]

The cake is made in individual portions and larger sizes for sharing. It can be served with whipped vanilla cream, an apricot glaze or a candied cherry. Citrus peel and vanilla can also flavor the soaking syrup.[1][2]
