Stollen cake

Xmas & CNY are my fav festive holidays cuz i not only have a reason to buy new clothes and dress up, it's also the time for good food & gatherings!

On festive food, besides snow skin mooncakes, my fav is Stollen Cake, a traditional German Christmas cake.





The best i've eaten so far were the ones I got from marks & spencers in London about 2 years back. M&S home brand... it was moist, not so sweet and full of texture. Even better if taken in Germany, in the middle of a Christmas Market with a cup of Gluhwein....

Haven't been able to find Stollen cake ever since coming back here. If anyone knows of a place tt sells good stollen cake in sg, drop me a msg. will be very very grateful :)

n.b. stollen cakes are NOT the same as English fruit cakes. They r filled with marzipan... please do not suggest fruit cakes cuz i find them absolutely revolting... too dry n sweet for my liking.
