We are glad to share with you this Orange Nutella Walnut Babka, a really delicious version of traditional Babka, rich, nutty and chocolaty, abounding in citrus flavor. It is by far one of the best Babka you can ever prepare. This recipe was made in collaboration with our friends from Macarons Boutique, a delightful cake shop that we love.
