The result is a sweet, fragrant cake that is perfect for the holiday season. Here is a delicious Stollen Christmas Cake recipe that you can make in just a few simple steps.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup currants
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup candied cherries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup candied pineapple, chopped
  • 1/4 cup candied lemon peel, chopped
  • 1/4 cup candied orange peel, chopped
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.

Fold in the raisins, currants, walnuts, cherries, pineapple, lemon peel, and orange peel. Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.

Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
