Growing up, we always had a cake—specifically, babka—to kick off the weekend. There's something special about having a cake to comfort family and guests on weekends. Cake is perfect for breakfast with your morning coffee, an afternoon snack with tea, dessert after a meal, or simply a late-night treat. Either way, having cake at home is always a delight. Now, I particularly love babka because the dough can be prepared the night before. While cooking dinner for the family, you can roll out, stuff, shape, and proof the babka dough so it's ready right after dinner. The syrup we add atop the babka as soon as it comes out of the oven adds subtle sweet notes of rose water and helps preserve the cake's moisture, extending its shelf life. The filling here is my go-to for Rogalach—just a hint of cinnamon. The combination of cinnamon and cocoa is so underrated; you've got to give it a try!
