Babka is a sweet, yeasted cake made with enriched dough containing eggs, butter, and sugar, often swirled with fillings like chocolate, poppy seeds, raisins, or cinnamon, then baked in a tall, fluted pan. This visually striking cake is most popular in eastern Poland, especially in Podlachia and Lublin, and is a traditional centerpiece during Easter celebrations. Its name means "grandmother" in Polish, referring to the cake’s round, domed shape.

Common variations include babka czekoladowa (chocolate babka) and babka piaskowa (sandy, non-yeasted version).
