This is without a doubt one of my favorite breads and every time I have a chance I do it. I don't know exactly how to translate Chocolate Babka into Spanish, I think some people call it yeast bread, I don't really like how it sounds so that's why I called it in the title simply chocolate bread. Hope you like.
