What Is The Difference Between A Savarin And A Baba?
The difference between a Savarin and a Baba lies primarily in the shape and the liquor used to soak them. A Savarin is a ring-shaped cake made with yeast, soaked in a sweet syrup (often flavored with rum), and served with whipped cream and fruit. On the other hand, a Baba is a small, individual-sized cake made with yeast, typically soaked in a liquor (often rum or dark fruit liqueur) and served with whipped cream. Babas are also sometimes filled with cream or fruit jam.
