Flourless Chocolate Cake Has a Special Place at the Passover Table | Eater

"This Mexican-Jewish bakery in Chicago developed a Passover-friendly flourless chocolate cake by testing family recipes and choosing a denser, pecan-enriched version for consistent large-format baking; the team then added a Mexican twist with a cafe de la olla ganache (coffee, cinnamon, chocolate, piloncillo), while chopped pecans contribute fat, moisture, and richness that appeals to both Latina and Jewish customers." - Aliza Abarbanel

I ordered from Masa Madre for the first time a few weeks ago after reading about them in Midwest Living Magazine. The Challah (plain) is so incredible that I cannot stop eating it! I had my order shipped (to Ohio), and it arrived on time and in perfect condition! I have frozen the hot chocolate Babka for a Thanksgiving morning treat- I cannot wait to eat it. I will definitely be ordering again! Great job ladies!

Masa Madre is my favorite Chicago bakery. The challahs are amazing and they are always including something new and delicious to their menu (pan de muerto🤤). The first Babka I ate in my life was theirs and I cannot use enough words to praise it. I am completely addicted to it now. My favorite are the tres leches and pistachio cardamom Babkas. Also, their products are great gifts in ANY occasion!!!

This is the best bakery to ever exist. Full stop. Every babka flavor is incredible and unique! Their cookies are the perfect consistency and delicious. I dare you to not eat an entire challah in one sitting. Do yourself a favor and get the tres leches babka.

Insanely delicious. If you have not had a Masa Madre babka, you haven’t lived! Get one, now! Buttery, stretchy, sweet — an absolute slice of heaven. And the Challah is perfect in every way. It’s exactly what Challah should be! Super easy to pick up and they deliver in Chicago and SHIP throughout the US (the perfect gift for family and friends)! Please order immediately, you will not regret it!

I received my order for some challah, cookies, and conchas today. It was my first time trying conchas. They were so delicious—a bit like a cross between a sweet Hawaiian roll and a donut. And the challah...the sea salt takes it to a whole other level. So glad to have these local bakers who deliver.

Masa Madre is the crème de la crème. The challah and and babka is out of this world! Gastronomically galactic! Every MM item I have tried is delicious and creative. I am also amazed by their output of new flavors and new items to try on the menu. This is a Chicago diamond, folks!
