Speculoos babka from Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking with Confidence (page 239) by Claire Saffitz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Really nice!

    This babka was great, but I agree with the previous poster about decreasing the amount of topping. It was way too much for the amount of bread.

    Delicious! The babka had an excellent texture. However, the crumb topping baked up dry, which made it seem like the bread itself was dry when it wasn't. I liked the cinnamon crunch and appearance of the topping, but would make maybe half of it next time; there was quite a lot.
