Baba juicy and fluffy to prepare at home

Baba juicy and fluffy to prepare at home. With few ingredients that we always have at home, we can get a different cake to take in some celebration. As expected from the composition of its ingredients, it is important that the smallest members of the house do not drink it, because even if we put the liquor on the fire, the alcohol does not evaporate.

This baba has a very fluffy and very moist texture, thanks to the syrup that we are going to put on it. We can prepare the syrup with any liquor we have at home, both cognac, brandy, orange liqueur…

Add a part of the whites and stir vigorously. We do this to lighten the mixture of yolks and flour a bit, and it is easier for us to finish integrating the whites.
