    Can't stand it. The family I stayed with in Bavaria used to spend ages making their own Stollen and all loved it and I used to feel so bad turning it down.

    It's a light fruit cake with marzipan in the middle, usually topped with toasted nuts and cherries.

    Stollen is a bread-like cake traditionally made in Germany, usually eaten during the Christmas season as Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen. Stollen (originally Striezel) was created in Dresden in around 1450, and the most famous Stollen is still the Dresdner Stollen, sold, among other places, at the local Striezelmarkt Christmas market.

    Stollen is a light airy fruitcake made with yeast, water and flour, and usually dried citrus peel (called "Zitronad(e)), dried fruit, almonds, and spices such as cardamom and cinnamon; the dough is quite low in sugar. The finished cake is sprinkled with icing sugar. The traditional weight is 2 kg, but smaller sizes are now available.

    sounds yak, coz I don't like fruitcake. But, marzipan is yum, so I guess I could be persuaded to try it,
