Stollen is a traditional German Christmas cake with an ancient history. This rich and fragrant sweet bread originates from the Saxony region and is traditionally prepared during the Advent period. The recipe includes flour, yeast, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, bitter almond flavor, lemon flavor, rum flavor, ground cardamom, nutmeg, eggs, butter or margarine, lard, ricotta, candied fruit, dark sultanas, light sultanas, and almonds or hazelnuts.
