Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200˚C/400˚F
  • Mix the raisins and the cranberries together in a bowl and cover with enough warm water so that they are just submerged. leave to soak for at least an hour. Drain and dry with kitchen paper. Mix the fruits with one tbsp of flour
  • Line the cake tin with baking paper. Whisk the butter and the sugar together with a hand mixer until creamy and then add the eggs one by one. Add the yogurt to your egg mix.
  • Put the flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, all the spices and the salt together in a separate bowl and mix it well together. Add the egg mix and stir with a spoon until combined. Then add your luke warm milk in and stir until just combined.
  • Put half of your cake batter in the cake tin and set aside while you prepare your marzipan. You can add an egg to the marzipan and knead it until it becomes sticky and firm. You can add some lemon zest too if you like. Make a rol and place that on top of your cake mix and top that with the remaining half of the cake mix.
  • Put in the preheated oven and after about 30 minutes turn down the heat to about 180˚C/350˚F. Check to see if it is not going to quick and if it is getting too brown you can cover it with some aluminium foil if needed.
  • Once cooked brush melted butter over the top and dust generously with icing sugar.

Notes

  • Storing: you can store the stollen cake for up to a week in an airtight container. Don't place it in the fridge as that will dry out the cake
