Babka
Defining this tall tapered, turban-shaped cake as a ‘yeast-raised egg bread’ is only partially correct, because this name is applied to a wide variety of different cakes using other types of leavening as well. Tall iced or sugar-dusted babkas are among the traditional culinary attractions of the Polish Easter table, but it is enjoyed on other festive occasions as well. (Note: There are also savory babkas made with potatoes, onions, meat, etc.)
