Hey Rach - i've never made babke, but eaten a lot of it *yum* ..now i have babke cravings - thanks

Anyway, i look up in my kosher recipe books for a good recipe, failing that i'll call the best cook i've ever met (she teaches home ec. and makes the nicest food... good thing she is very close family friends with DH family - we get invited all the time.. and she makes me food when i've had a baby!) - she will eb sure that have a great recipe!
