In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Prepare the Dough

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knead and Rise

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces. Shape them into balls and place them in a greased baba mold or muffin tin. Let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Shape the Babas

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the babas for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Bake

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and dark rum. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Prepare the Rum Syrup

While still warm, soak the babas in the rum syrup for a few minutes, turning them to ensure they are well coated.

Soak the Babas

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Serve the soaked babas warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream.
