Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the Baba
3 1/2 ounces flour
A pinch of salt
1/2 ounce sugar
A pinch of baking powder
2 eggs
1 ounce butter
For the syrup
1 quart water
18 ounces caster sugar
Lemon zests
Orange zests
For the finishing touch
2 ounces of apricot coating/glazing
Add Rum according to your taste
For the whipped cream Chantilly
7 ounces double cream
1 ounce sugar
1/2 vanilla pod

Steps:

  • Prepare Baba:
  • Mix all the ingredients without the butter and then beat with a wooden spoon for about 15 minutes. When the dough starts to unstick from the spoon, add the melted butter. Mix.
  • Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise. When the volume doubles spread the dough halfway up the 4 buttered moulds. Make sure that the dough is evenly spread and than leave it to rise in a warm area (86 - 95°F). The Baba should slightly overflow the moulds.
  • Cook it in the oven for 25 minutes at 392 - 400°F. The cooking time can depend on the size, color, and desired moistness of the Baba. Turn out the Babas as soon as they are cook.
  • Make syrup and cream:
  • Mix all the syrup ingredients and bring to boiling point. Leave to infuse. Place the Babas in the syrup and leave to soak for about 40 minutes. Verify that they are well soaked, and then place them on a grid to let them drip for about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the vanilla pod in two lengthwise and scrape out the grains that will be mixed in with the cream.
  • Beat the vanilla grains with the sugar and cream to obtain a Chantilly.
  • Put the Baba on a plate and glaze with the apricot coating.
  • Serving at the table, cut the Baba in two (lengthwise) and pour on the rum according to you taste. Served it with the Chantilly cream.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids love baba ganoush and they don't even realize they're eating eggplant.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I was craving baba ganoush but didn't have any in the house. I found this recipe online and it was so easy to make. It's just as good as the baba ganoush I get from my favorite restaurant.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I love baba ganoush, but I'm always looking for ways to make it healthier. This recipe uses less oil than traditional recipes, and it's just as flavorful.

I've made baba ganoush a few times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The tahini and lemon juice really make the flavors pop.
