Everyone borrows recipes, trying their hand at something that someone else has created and honed to perfection. This recipe comes from my favourite cooking site smittenkitchen.com. I recommend this to anyone who loves cooking or food porn – seriously the pictures are phenomenal. Cooking chocolate babka was something that always intrigued me after eating this at Max Brenner (a perfect little chocolate shop in Sydney) and when Deb put a recipe for it on her site, I was game and it was worth every bit of trouble.

Warning – This will create a chocolate overload!
