It's about time for me to break out the Christmas Stollen recipe for a nice sweet yeasty bread.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-53502048559039901852007-11-12T14:52:00.000+00:002007-11-12T14:52:00.000+00:00I make this recipe too, and recommend it to everyo...I make this recipe too, and recommend it to everyone i meet. In fact, i make 2 of these every year, sometimes 3.. i made one for mum, a huge 9 inch square cake.. one for me, a similar sized cake with a little taken out from mine to make a small one in a 4 inch round tin (i used a heinz pudding tin cleaned out!) for my best friend (who is the only one who likes christmas cake in her house). I'll probably make another 4 inch cake for my grandmother, although i'm not sure yet. She told me she has the WI in her village to keep her stocked up with cakes.. :) I have to say though, if you're not a fan of icing, then delia gives a lovely idea for decorating with glazed fruits and/or nuts which i did last year for mom's cake and they said it was gorgeous, nicer than the usual one and i think they're doing it again this year. I'll have to post some pics of the finished version from last year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
