What's the secret to an ooey gooey delicious chocolate babka? I tried a few recipes but none have been that great. They either weren't chocolate-y enough or weren't moist enough. I would love to make a delicious babka for yomtov to serve piping hot with vanilla ice cream. One recipe I tried called for pudding in the chocolate mixture but it still didn't come out as flavorful as we'd liked.

Maybe use a chocolate spread for the filling.

What type of chocolate mixture do you use?
I use a dry mix. Powdered sugar, regular sugar, cocoa, drop of cinnamon, and bread crumbs. I oil the dough with plenty of oil and then sprinkle on the powder and it is always delicious.

I have a delicious chocolate recipe but it uses margarine and I know many people don't like to use margarine.
Do you want recipe?

Busy in brooklyn (it's a blog) posted a recipe for chocolate meltaway cake that was all over social media..people went nuts over it. I made it myself, it's delicious. Definitely has that gooey chocolate factor you're looking for.
If you google it, it should come up.

Found it, thanks. Some interesting ingredients.
Chocolate Meltaway Cake
Cake:
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup dairy free sour cream or unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate Topping:
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup margarine, melted or oil
Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
2 Tbs. oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 inch square or round cake pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low to combine. Then add the eggs, sour cream, soy milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix to combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Mix up the chocolate topping. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and margarine. Dollop the chocolate all over the cake batter and then using a knife or a spatula, to swirl/spread the chocolate and cake together.
Mix up the crumb topping. In a small bowl mix the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, and oil. Stir until large crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumbs all over the top of the cake. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the cake is set and the edges are slightly brown.

I didn't make the meltaway, but the only babka / kokosh cake I made that came out really gooey was in the mishpacha a few months ago. They had a contest and printed the top 3 recipes; this was the first. What was interesting was the chocolate filling had an egg, and a package of chocolate pudding mix, as well as the usual cocoa powder, sugar and oil. Also, I doubled the filling.

You need to find a recipe that lets you have very thin layers of dough that don't rise too much... then the filling will shine!
I'd love such a recipe, if anyone has one.

I have a neighbor who makes her babka with chocolate pudding as well as the usual dry mix. So yummy and super chocolatey and moist.

Sure!
I'm sure any dough would work, but I'm retyping it here for proportions (the directions are pretty standard):
Dough:
7 1/2 c. flour
4 1/2 T. yeast (btw I just used 2 packets and it was perfect!)
3/4 c. sugar
1 T. vanilla sugar
1 c. oil
1 3/4 c. warm water
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tsp. salt
Filling: I did 1 1/2 times the filling:
1 1/2 boxes instant choc. pudding mix
1 1/2 c. cocoa powder
3 c. sugar
1 egg + 1 yolk
1 c. oil
1/2-3/4 c. water
1 T. vanilla
* Stir firs the dry ingr., then slowly add in the wet. Start with 1/4 c. water and slowly add an additional 1/4 c. if necessary--it should have the consistency of peanut butter according to the recipe.
Crumb topping: (I also doubled this)
you can skip this but it's worth the extra effort!
1/4 c. (or half stick) margarine
1 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
Pulse until crumbly and sprinkle over cakes.
Bake at 350 for 30-35 mins.
My plan was to try all 3 of the winning babka recipes but I never ended up trying any of the others, bec. this one was so good!
Eta: Just made this recipe for shabbos which I got from here because too lazy to look up original, and there's a typo. The water in the filling should be just 1/2 c., not 1 1/2 cup (corrected now). So sorry!
Makes 2

Start with 1 1/4 c. water and slowly add an additional 1/4 c. if necessary--it should have the consistency of peanut butter according to the recipe. For some reason, once when I made it, it came out way too loose and drippy. So that's why I'd start with 1/4 c. less water and slowly add, as necessary.

How long does the dough need to rise for? How many babkas does this make?

Do you still have it? Would love the recipe. I usually save Mishpacha mags. Just don't know which week it was. Can you help me identify it please? Tia
