It’s fresh, exciting… – Quark lemon babka

April 3, 2015 by nadel&gabel

Easter is just around the corner – time to bake some braided bread. Don’t you think of some kind of brioche/plait/whatever-you-call-it when it comes to Easter? (Second after eggs of course.)

I urgently needed the recipe and I didn’t fully believe her, when she said that the recipe was totally easy, probably the most easiest recipe ever … But I can tell you: She didn’t exaggerate!
