Here at King Arthur, we take our cinnamon-swirled buns and breads pretty seriously. This babka is no exception with its cinnamon-laced, buttery, brown sugar filling studded with nuts and raisins. It’s a loaf worthy of any celebration, large or small, even if it’s just your daily tea or coffee ritual.
