Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g Magerquark
- 150 g Zucker
- 200 g Butter
- 400 g Mehl
- 1 Pck. Backpulver
- 100 g Haselnüsse, gemahlen
- 4 Eier
- 1 Pck. Bourbon-Vanillearoma
- 100 g Zitronat
- 100 g Orangeat
- 200 g Rosinen
- 150 g Marzipanrohmasse
- 1 Messerspitze Koriander
- 1 Messerspitze Muskatnuss, gerieben
- 75 g Rum zum Einweichen
- 100 g Butter (zum Bestreichen)
- 100 g Puderzucker (zum Bestäuben)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the dried fruits. Chop the raisins, candied lemon peel (Zitronat), and candied orange peel (Orangeat) into small pieces. Place them in a bowl and pour over the rum. Stir to combine, ensuring all the fruit is evenly coated, and let the mixture soak and infuse for at least 30 minutes to maximize flavor.
- While the fruits are soaking, prepare the baking tray (Fettpfanne) measuring approximately 32 x 39 cm by greasing it thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray. Preheat your oven to 190°C (top and bottom heat) or 175°C (fan/convection).
- In a dry, non-stick skillet over medium heat, toast the ground hazelnuts for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until they are lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool. For the marzipan, place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to grate. Once firm, coarsely grate the marzipan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, stirring to distribute the leavening agent evenly. Add the cooled toasted hazelnuts, quark, sugar, Bourbon vanilla aroma, eggs, 200 g softened butter, ground coriander, and grated nutmeg. Mix everything together, either with a hand mixer and dough hook or by hand, until a smooth, soft shortcrust dough (Mürbeteig) forms.
- Drain any excess rum from the soaked fruit mixture if necessary. Add the soaked raisins, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel to the dough. Add the grated marzipan as well. Knead everything together gently until the fruit and marzipan are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking tray. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the dough evenly across the tray, ensuring it reaches all corners and is of uniform thickness.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the surface is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as the cake should remain moist.
- While the cake is baking, melt 100 g of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven but leave it on the tray. Immediately brush the hot cake generously with the melted butter, allowing it to soak in. While the cake is still warm, sift and sprinkle the powdered sugar evenly over the entire surface.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on the tray. Once cooled, cut it into squares or cubes of your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For the best flavor, allow the dried fruits to soak in rum for several hours or overnight if possible. Freezing the marzipan briefly makes it much easier to grate. This Stollenkuchen keeps well for several days and is perfect for making ahead during the holiday season. You can also substitute or add other dried fruits or nuts to suit your personal preference.
