Quark Stollen Just Like Grandma’s Advent Treat – Moist & Full of Memories

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Beat quark, sugar, butter, and vanilla sugar until creamy.

2. Mix flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, then fold into the wet mixture.

3. Knead in the raisins and almonds.

4. Shape into a stollen and bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 60 minutes, until golden brown.

5. While still warm, brush with melted butter and generously dust with powdered sugar – just like fresh snow.

❌ Mistakes to Avoid

• Too little fat = dry stollen

• Not soaking raisins = hard texture

• Cutting too soon = flavors don’t fully develop

✅ Pro Tip

Wrap in foil and let rest for 2–3 days – it will become even moister and more flavorful.
