The Christmas cake known as Stollen was first baked in Dresden, Germany, around 1450. This cake is handmade in Dresden, Germany, and affixed with a Seal of Quality from the Dresden Baker's Guild. It's one of the richest of rich German cakes, made with fresh butter, eggs, raisins and candied fruit, and has become a cherished German Christmas tradition. This 26.4 ounce stolen serves 10-12 and comes in a beautiful decorative box. German pastries, such as stollen, are drier and less sweet than American- style cakes. To make your stollen more moist, simply toast lightly or warm in the microwave, and spread with soft butter. For a little extra sweetness, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
