Steps:
- 3. Filling: purée apricot preserves in food processor until smooth. In small bowl, combine cake crumbs, preserves and butter; mix until smooth. Set aside. Grate chocolate in large holes of box grater or in food processor. If using food processor, pulse into large chunks. Set aside. 4. Streusel topping: in small bowl mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add cold butter and using your fingers, mix together until crumbly. Set aside. 5. Assemble, line one Bundt pan or two 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, not letting paper come more than 1 inch above top of pans. Remove dough from refrigerator and divide in half. On lightly floured surface, roll one piece of dough into 12 x 8-inch rectangle. 6. With metal spatula, spread half the apricot filling over dough within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with half grated chocolate. Beginning with long side, roll dough up tightly and fold in ends. Twist babka lengthwise to create spiral, holding one end of babka in each hand. Place twisted babka in half the prepared Bundt pan or in loaf pan, pressing dough firmly into pan. Melt remaining 2 Tblsp butter. Brush babka top with melted butter and sprinkle with half streusel. Repeat with second half of babka dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let loaves rise at room temperature until they reach top of pan or about doubled in volume, about 2 hours. 7. Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Allow babka to cool for 30 minutes before cutting. Slice babka and serve. Yield: 1 large Bundt babka or 2 loaf babkas.
