Baba and Savarin cakes are soaked in a rum spiked sugar water flavored with citrus and cinnamon sticks. They are literally soaked in a large pot until completely saturated. The Savarin is a plain, ring cake (about the size and shape of a small donut). The Baba cake has marinated raisins in the dough and it is typically topped with fruit or creme chantilly (whipped cream). It's the size of a small cupcake but much more fun.
