Loaf with a chocolate swirl

BABKA

Think of a sweet, braided Eastern European bread often compared to cinnamon rolls’ richer cousin.

"Babka" is a sweet, braided bread often filled with chocolate, cinnamon, or fruit, making it a perfect fit for a loaf with a chocolate swirl. The clue plays on the literal description of the pastry, which is known for its rich, swirled layers. It’s a popular treat in Jewish and Eastern European baking, so the answer leans on both the visual and cultural hints.
