- 2 large eggs 🥚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 🧈

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder 🍫

For the Syrup:

- 1/2 cup water 💧

Instructions:

Making the Dough:

1. Activate Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy. 🥛🌿

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, and salt. 🌾🧂

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and whisk until combined. 🍦🥚

4. Form Dough:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead in the butter until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size. 🧈

Making the Filling:

5. Prepare Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, chopped chocolate, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth and set aside. 🍫🧂

Assembling the Babka:

6. Roll Out Dough:
- Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. 🌾

7. Spread Filling:
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. 🍫

8. Roll and Cut:
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log in half lengthwise to expose the filling. 🌿

9. Twist and Shape:
- Twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides up. Place the twisted dough into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes. 🍞

Baking the Babka:

10. Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the babka for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. 🌟

Making the Syrup:

11. Prepare Syrup:
- While the babka is baking, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. 💧🧂

12. Brush Syrup:
- Remove the babka from the oven and immediately brush the syrup over the top. Let the babka cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 🍞
