Let the Babka See The Tin

Chocolate Week started off with a challenge to make Chocolate Brownies, which all of the bakers did a fantastic job on, we then moved on to making a babka, which confused the hell out of Lottie, who is probably still trying to fit it in to the tin she was using. We ended on a celebratory chocolate showstopper which had more tenuous back stories than anyone could ever ask for.


Josh, Jane and Howard were joined by the brilliant Ian Cumming (star of series 6) - as we recorded this podcast remotely via Zoom. We'd like your questions and comments to keep us going in the new series. Hit us up at thebakedown@bakewithalegend.com and we'll read out your comments on the upcoming episodes.
