stollen

i apologize for my lack of posts! I can't believe it's been a few weeks. does that mean food in england is scarce? not really.

the other weekend my housemates and i had an open house. my german housemade baked stollen, a traditional german fruit cake. But this is not like american fruit cake. it contains spices, dried fruit and nuts and sprinkled with powered sugar. some have marzipan in the center.

i like spreading a light layer of butter on top of a slice of stollen.

i need to get the recipe from my housemate, but she'll have to translate it first.
