An interesting fact about Babà is that its origin is not Italian but Polish. Babà was invented in the 18th century by the Polish king Stanislaus Leszczyński. Stanislaus, who was also the Duke of Lorraine, soaked a dry and unappetizing cake called "kugelhopf" in rum, thus creating the first Babà. The cake then came to France thanks to Stanislaus' daughter, Maria Leszczyńska, who married Louis XV. From there, Babà arrived in Naples, where it was perfected and became a widely appreciated and loved local specialty. Today, Babà is considered one of the symbols of Neapolitan pastry.
