Rum baba

[GinaFordAteMyBaby]

Can you still buy these? I have a craving. Used to be able to get them at Tesco and Sainsburys years ago but I guess they must have gone out of fashion. Where can I get a fix???

What is a rum baba? Sounds erm, interesting

Lovely syrupy gooey goodness.

"A rum baba or baba au rhum is a small yeast cake saturated in liquor, usually rum, and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. It is most typically made in individual servings (about a 2" tall slightly tapered cylinder) but sometimes can be made in larger forms?"
