I agree!! Here is my promised recipe!If I can do it! So Can you!! It is fun easy and sooooooooooooooooo YUMMY!

1 1/2 cups of water
2 TBSP of dry yeast
3/4 cup plus a pinch of white sugar
2 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla ext
1 tsp lemon juice
2 drops of almond ext
1 tsp of salt
1cup (2 sticks) of pareve marg cut in small pieces
6 cups of all purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water teast and pinch of sugar. Let stand for 5-10 mins. Sir in the eggs, yolks, vanilla, lemon, almond, 3/4 cup sugar,salt. Fold in marg and the flour. Mix, and then knead up to 10 mins. until it is smooth and elastic. place in a bowl bigger than the amout of dough, place the bowl in a plastic bag (not garbage) I use two white grocerie babgs over lapped to trap out the air. place in a warm corner for an hour.
punch down, and recover let rest again for another hour.
Punch down, recover let rest while you make the following schmear

1 1/2 cups of pareve choc chips
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup cocoa pwd
1/2 cup white sugar
3 TBSP marg

place all in a processor process until a loose paste.

On a lightly floured board, roll out dough into a 16" square. spread schmear all over the dough. Roll into a jelly roll


Prepare a huge tube pan greased GENEROUSLY!!

CAREFULLY lift the babka and place in the tube pan. It is ok if it over laps itself.
brush top with beaten egg
place pan in a plastic bag let rise and rest for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 F
bake for 1 hour. Let rest at least 1/2 hour before removing from pan!!

Let me know how you like it!!

I use a sweet challah dough recipe and leave out the cinnamon. I replaced the margarine with oil.
I actually found it easier to buy a lot of baking chocolate and grind it in the food processor and store in the freezer. Then I just weigh out what I need.

I posted the full original recipe that I based it on for everyone to benefit from.

U can't compare the two recipes. The first one with instant chocolate pudding in the filling is a heavenly recipe and I always substitute oil for margarine and it's delicious!!!

Do you substitute the margarine in the dough or the filling, or both?
