Looks lovely - never eaten a rum baba, no idea what they're all about. Looks like a posh donut = win!

@blightygal - that's a good description. Sponge and cream which is then soaked in rum (that's the extra good bit! - and they brought us the rum separately in a little jug).

This was very upmarket - I also love the very vulgar ones you get in kebab shops - which are pre-drenched in (probably) rum-tasting syrup rather than rum, loaded with sugar - and topped with artificial cream and a cherry. See https://www.redstarfoodservice.co.uk/products/id-1142.html

Lovely, not had one for years

Not something you too much about these days!

You have won me now! My Dad's favourite dessert, though I suspect he has not had one in many years now.

They look delicious.
