A Sweet, Boozy Treat: Baba au Rhum

Recipe Just for You!

Bonjour mon ami(e)!

Thank you for being part of the Fabulously Delicious family! I’m excited to share something special with you this week—a recipe for a true French classic: Baba au Rhum.

This little rum-soaked cake has an incredibly rich history, from its roots in Eastern Europe to becoming a staple in Parisian pâtisseries, and now, right here in our kitchens.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the latest episode of Fabulously Delicious, The French Food Podcast, where I explore the story of the Baba au Rhum. It’s available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy listening. Dive into its fascinating past, with royal connections, twists from Italian chefs, and the unique French touches that make it one of France’s most beloved desserts.

This recipe is a true celebration of French flavors and techniques, with tender dough, a rich rum syrup, and luscious whipped cream. I hope you’ll enjoy making (and eating!) this dessert as much as I enjoyed creating this recipe for you. As you prepare your Baba au Rhum, I’d love for you to share the episode and this newsletter with your friends, family, or anyone who loves France and French cuisine. Let’s spread the joy of French food far and wide!
