Traditional Christmas Stollen. Baked 2 weeks before Christmas (NG) and Matures in cool place. The kind of cake with lots of dried fruit. But much tastier cupcakes. In the process of maturation Stollen becomes so much more flavorful!! Still it's a real Christmas cakes. Bake for the third time. I hope I get as good.
