Stollen coffee cake is a beloved German Christmas delicacy with a dense, nutty, buttery crumb and rich fruity flavors. It's usually made with a blend of dried and candied fruits and nuts, and often flavored with warm spices. The cake is often decorated with a snow-like dusting of powdered sugar, an elegant glaze, or even a marzipan layer, making it a true centerpiece for any festive gathering.

STOLLEN COFFEE CAKE
Many people eat Stollen during the Christmas holiday. I use the chopped candied fruit that you would use for fruit cake. This coffee cake bakes up light and delicious. You can even prepare it the night before, cover it and then in the morning take the cover off and bake it.
