Babà is a traditional Italian dessert, particularly popular in the regions of Campania and Naples. It is a small, yeast-based cake that is typically soaked in a rum or limoncello syrup, giving it a moist and flavorful texture. The cake is often shaped like a small dome and can be filled with cream or fruit. The origins of babà are believed to be influenced by the Baba au Rhum, a French dessert. Over time, it has become a staple in Italian pastry shops and is enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions. Its sweet, spongy nature makes it a favorite among dessert lovers.
