Costco has grown tremendously since its beginnings as a single store opened in Seattle in 1983, in large part due to the efforts and expertise of CEO Jim Sinegal, who was tapped to help found the enterprise because of his experience with a similar venture, the Price Club chain of high-volume warehouse stores.
Not a cake to bake if youâre short of time. This recipe makes enough for two Chocolate Babka cakes. If you can manage not to eat the second loaf, it can be stored frozen for up to three weeks wrapped in plastic cling film and then foil.
Babka's current renaissance (which, sorry cinnamon fans, seems to be restricted to the chocolate version) can be attributed to two factors. The first is the continued proliferation of high quality bakeries across New York, many of which are including babka in their offerings alongside croissants.egardless of the babka you go for, there are some rules. First and foremost, the babka must taste fresh. With so much babka at our fingertips there's no reason to settle for a stale loaf with a crumb that tastes like a cheap dinner roll.
