Baba has a somewhat older history. Of Polish origin, it closely resembles Kougelhopf. In 18th century, the King of Poland, exiled in France, was tired of eating Kougelhopf which he found too dry. He requested the cake to be drizzled with wine.
Later, the Parisian pastry chef, Nicolas Stohrer replaced the wine with rum, hence its name of Rum Baba which is prepared in a Baba mould.
