Have you ever had stollen? If the answer is “Yes, I've had that dried-out, hard stuff they sell at the supermarket, and if that's stollen you can keep it – preferably far away” – then you haven't had stollen at its best.

A moist loaf scented with citrus and vanilla, studded with tasty dried fruit, enrobed in melted butter, and showered with confectioners' sugar.
