Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Brooklyn Babka is a zesty, swirly, brioche-meets-cake loaf rooted in Eastern European Jewish traditions. In both Polish and Yiddish, “babka” is the diminutive of “baba,” meaning “grandmother.” And the character of this sweet, fluffy, streusel-topped cake lives up to its namesake—welcoming you with open arms, old-world charm — and just a bit of spice — just as your baba would. Made for us by the same supplier as our much-beloved Chocolate Brooklyn Babka, this deftly sweet, luxuriously soft pastry achieves the same impeccable texture and fluffiness as its Chocolate counterpart, but delightfully swings for a different flavor profile. Each layer of rich, soft dough is filled with zesty cinnamon and sugar, giving it a charmingly lively, slightly savory character. And if that weren’t enough, Cinnamon Babka is topped with a bit of crumbly streusel.
