A rum baba or baba au rhum is a small yeast cake saturated in hard liquor usually rum and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. It is most typically made in individual servings (about a two-inch-tall slightly tapered cylinder) but sometimes can be made in larger forms similar to those used for Bundt cakes.The batter for baba is even richer than brioche batter[citation needed] and includes eggs milk and butter.
