HOW TO DO DELICIOUS RUM BABA
1️⃣ Making baba in some ways is also like making dessert bread. Once you get your dough done all you really have to do is wait for it to rise and then bake.
2️⃣ Make The Baba Dough.
3️⃣ Let The Dough Rise.
4️⃣ Bake The Baba.
5️⃣ Make The Vanilla Whipped Cream.
6️⃣ To serve, cut the rum baba into slices and also add a dollop of the double cream, if desired.
HOW TO STORE EXTRAS
Babas can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days. If not soaked, they will also keep for about 5 days. Keep them in an airtight container to avoid them drying out too much. I do not recommend freezing.
