last week i went to go help my dad out at work to make the traditional german christmas stollen.
i underestimated the time and work that goes into these cakes.
it takes hours upon hours to prepare with numerous steps in between.
first you have to prepare the rum covered raisons, the roasted almonds, and marzipan the night before.
then you make the large sum of dough, adding in the raisons and almonds.
next you gotta let the dough rise.
then you separate the dough into individual mounds.
i had never seen this much dough. ever. it was craziness.
while this cake may take a long time to prepare, it doesn't take long for one of these cakes to be eaten bite by bite.
more to come tomorrow.
