00:00It's fun to see your mom doing this.
00:02What was it?
00:03This is my mother, Martha, and she's going to show us how she makes what I think is probably the
00:09best babka around.
00:11Well, you're very generous, Martha.
00:12Well.
00:13We start out with baking eggs.
00:15Okay.
00:16You can add your salt, and you add a cup of sugar.
00:20Now, while this is beating, we've already scalded the milk, two cups of milk,
00:25and we added two sticks of butter to melt.
00:28About a half a cup of warm water to proof the yeast.
00:32Okay.
00:33Well, a teaspoon of vanilla.
00:34And a tablespoon of Grand Marnier.
00:37Very finely grated zest of how many oranges?
00:39I think two oranges and one lemon.
00:42All right.
00:43Now, you can add the yeast, which has been dissolved.
00:47Add the flour.
00:48We have about eight cups here.
00:51We're adding the milk and the melted butter.
00:53And now we can put in currants and the golden raisins.
00:58Transfer this batter to a mixing bowl.
01:01And then let it rise in a warm place, covered.
01:03Mm-hmm.
01:03Oh, this is beautiful dough.
01:06Placed in the Gugelhoff mold.
01:08And then these should just be put in a warm place to rise.
01:13So you beat an egg up and brush the top of the cake.
01:17The oven's preheated to what temperature?
01:19About 350.
01:19Okay.
01:20And you just cook them until they are brown.
01:23I hope all of you love this cake as much as I love this cake.
01:26Sake.
01:26Ooh.
01:26Well.
01:26Let's see.
01:26On other fifty.
