Sweet vs Savory
Babka can be either sweet or savory. In Jewish tradition the loaf is twisted in length and filled with cinnamon or chocolate rather than fruit. In Lithuania, Babka is made with grated potatoes, egg, onion, and bacon or as a sweet version with raisins. Commonly, those celebrating Easter in the U.S. have adopted the more sweeter version of the bread incorporating a blend of raisins and cinnamon.
