  • Rum soaked dried fruit (see below) 70g
  • Chopped Pecans 16g (any other nuts would work)

Rum Syrup:

  • Water 12g
  • Sugar 6g
  • Rum 2g (Gold/dark rum works best but if not white rum. If you don’t have rum, leave it out)

Rum-soaked dried fruit:

  • Rum 15ml (gold/dark rum works best but if not white)
  • Raisins 27g
  • Cranberries 14g
  • Orange Peel 20g
  • Lemon Peel 10g

Marzipan:

  • Marzipan 50g

Instructions

Pound Cake:

  1. Prepare the pan (grease with butter) and the marzipan. Check below for the marzipan recipe.
  2. Gently beat the butter
  3. Add sugar and cream the butter.
  4. Sift in almond powder/salt and mix.
  5. Sift in part of the cake flour and mix.
  6. Gradually add in the whole eggs & mix.
  7. Finally sift in the rest of the cake flour/baking powder/cardamom, allspice, cinnamon powder, and mix.
  8. Mix in 2/3 of the rum-soaked dried fruit & pecans.
  9. Transfer the batter to the pound cake pan. Note – transfer 2/3 of the batter, place the marzipan and rest of the rum-soaked dried fruit then pipe the rest of the batter.
  10. Bake for 45mins at 165℃ (Pre-heat to 165℃). MAKE SURE you adjust the baking time on your oven and perform the wet-batter test to check if the cake is done.
  11. Watch the video on what to do after it’s baked.

Rum Syrup:

  1. Mix sugar in hot water. Stir and dissolve. If the sugar doesn't dissolve well heat up the water to a boil. Once it cools down a bit add the rum and mix.

Rum soaked dried fruit:

  1. Soak all the dried fruit in rum. You will get the best results when you soak it for at least a month but if in hurry, just a few hours at room temp would work. Make sure you toss it around once in a while so all the dried fruit will come into contact with the rum. Here, the purpose is NOT JUST to moisten the dried fruit (plumping) but more importantly it’s about giving the rum flavor which makes it suitable for stollen. I usually make this in big batches several weeks in advance and store it in the fridge.

Marzipan:

  1. Roll the marzipan into a shape of a cylinder. Watch the following on how to make Marzipan, You can also use store-bought marzipan!

Pastillage – pretty decorations

Notes

How to store:

Store in a cool place at room temp in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.

For baking conversions into cups/spoons
But trust me, weighing out in metric terms is much more accurate and it's a better way of baking. Electronic scales aren't expensive these days so pls buy one.
