Vegan Easter Yeast Cake Babka
This Easter I have decided that I will make an yeast cake babka.
Babka, which literally means "grandmother" in Polish, probably got the name because its shape is reminiscent of an old woman's wide, swirling skirts. Babka is a slightly sweet yeast bread similar to Italian panettone that can be made with rum-soaked raisins or other dried fruit, and iced or left plain. It's an Easter favourite among Poles and Ukrainians, and year-round by Ashkenazi Jews. As one might imagine, the varieties differ by region and by country. Here are of my favourite babka recipe.

Don't let the V word scare you. This cake qualifies as something I like to call 'accidentally Vegan'. This is an adaptation of another recipe, with edits made to taste.

Egg & Dairy-Free Decorated Cake Egg & Dairy-Free Decorated Cake
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday.The sponge is a variation of Patricio Garcia de Paredes' recipe that I re-arranged for a smaller amount.You only need to mix ingredients together for the sponge, so it's simple. Soy milk whipped cream is especially hard to whip when you're trying to get it to form stiff peaks. Chilling it beforehand or adding a little lemon juice makes it a bit easier. Recipe by Meifan -

POLISH EASTER BABKA CAKE WITH SOAKED RAISINS by (Jerr) POLISH EASTER BABKA CAKE WITH SOAKED RAISINS by (Jerr)
This Polish-style Babka recipe is easy to make and so beautiful to serve! It’s jam-packed with pineapple-soaked golden raisins and cherry-soaked dark raisins instead of rum soaked raisins, hiding like little gems inside a rich (8 yolks!), yeast-based cake. Baked in a signature Bundt mold, Babka doubles as a centrepiece on nearly every Polish Easter table.
