This Dresdner Stollen is a Christmas cake that come’s from Rita’s grandmother Oma Irmgard in Germany. For Rita, growing up in communist East Germany meant treats were scarce, but a lot of preparation went into making the dense, buttery Christmas cake once a year. This is a scaled down version for just 1 small cake.
This recipe was part of Anchor’s partnership with The AM Show and Newshub where we discovered what gave Kiwis all around New Zealand the feeling of home.
