Little Baba. Naples’ iconic Baba is a delicate yet indulgent pastry crafted from a rich dough of eggs, butter, milk, and flour. Its unique preparation involves baking the dough in small molds, resulting in individual-sized cakes. What truly sets Baba apart is its soaking process—once baked, the cakes are immersed in a flavorful syrup, typically infused with rum or another liqueur. This step imparts a moist and boozy character to the cakes, elevating them to a delectable level. Napoli’s culinary traditions with Baba are deeply rooted. The dessert often takes center stage during festive occasions, particularly on holidays and celebrations. It’s not just a treat; it’s a symbol of conviviality and the city’s rich culinary heritage. Neapolitans take pride in their skillful preparation of Baba, with variations in the syrup and liqueurs used, adding a personal touch to this beloved delicacy. Whether enjoyed as a sweet ending to a meal or as a delightful snack with coffee, Napoli’s Baba embodies the city’s commitment to creating desserts that are as rich in tradition as they are in flavor.

How to soak Babà with rum or limoncello (procedure for 1 pack)

Ingredients for 1 pack: 8 dl of water, 350 g of sugar, half a glass of rum or limoncello, five lemon zests.

Preparation method: Put everything together in a pot, bring it to a boil, and let it boil for about five minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool. When it reaches a temperature of about 40°, add half a glass of rum or limoncello. Mix everything and immerse the Babà completely for about five minutes. Squeeze them lightly to remove excess rum and let them drain for another five minutes. Finally, using a pastry syringe, fill the Babà with custard or spreadable chocolate and, if desired, decorate with dessert jelly. The Babà should be served cold with the optional addition of a bit of previously prepared syrup.
