Chocolate Babka (Sourdough, Parve?)

I just finished writing up the recipe on my blog.

You can find it here http://foolishpoolishbakes.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/chocolate-babka-sourdough/

I'm not sure if the recipe qualifies as Parve. If there's anybody who can give me a definitive answer, I'd be most appreciative.  

Thanks,

FP

All your ingredients as listed are parve.  The margerine is the biggie.  Some margerines say they are non-dairy, but government standards of non-dairy are looser than religious ones.  The product would need to be certified as parve.

The other strict detail is the equipment. A parve babka mixed and baked in dairy pans would be labeled as such.  Some certifiying agencies just lump them with dairy goods.

I keep kosher in the strictest sense, so you might find other answers.  I hope this helps you.

PS Your babka looks wonderful.  I also found a sourdough babka recipe I've been wanting to try.  This is inspiring.  Thanks.
