German Food and Drink

I chose a type of cake called Stollen, its basically Germany's fruitcake.
Stollen (Stollen)

Stollen is a rich, sweet yeast bread that is full of dried fruit, nuts and often marzipan and dusted with confectioner's sugar. It is Germany's answer to "fruitcake" and has been made in Germany since 1329. The most famous kind of Stollen, which can be found at most local supermarkets, is called Dresdner Christstollen, originating in Dresden, Germany. The Stollen is a typical christmas cake. Its shape and the shell of confectioner's sugar is said to represent the Baby Jesus wrapped in sheets.
