The Mini Chocolate Babka
Oh Calavera Bakery, what a sense of humor you have! Mini! Ha! Their babka could only be called mini compared to their mammoth full-sized babka. This mini babka was similar in size to a cinnamon bun. Gilded in chocolate, what a beauty! It was impossible to resist. Two people could easily share one of these with a cup of coffee and be satisfied. There are decadent amounts of creamy chocolate laced with cinnamon hiding in those doughy folds.
We carefully packaged our babka and devoured barely one quarter of the loaf the next day for breakfast. Still tender and delicate, the layers of chocolate kept our loaf beautifully moist. Another two slices made a delicious midnight snack. And, we still have over half of our giant babka left to eat.
This was an incredible first visit. We can’t wait to try each and every item La Calavera has to offer. Next time? The Mushroom Swiss Croissant and one of their gorgeous ciabatta, we hope. We’ll be showing up early… and hungry.
