Chocolate Babka Swirl Cut — Marble Reveal

Rich bakery macro, 9 seconds, 9:16 vertical, warm food cinematography. A dark, glossy babka loaf rests on a wooden board in moody bakery light; a serrated knife begins the cut, and as the two halves are drawn apart the cross-section reveals a dense marble of chocolate swirls folded through the dough, stripes upon stripes, chocolate glistening.
0-2s: The knife saws through the crust in close-up, crumbs scattering across the board, the first glimpse of the marbled interior. 2-5s: The halves separate fully and the camera pushes into the cut face in extreme macro, traveling along the chocolate strata, the glossy folds, the tender crumb between them, the swirl's hypnotic intricacy. 5-7s: One slice hits the toaster and emerges hot and steaming; butter is dragged across the swirls and melts instantly into the chocolate, pooling in the folds. 7-9s: The slice is lifted toward the lens, dripping and steaming, the chocolate glossy, then a final pull-back on the broken loaf.
