Quarkstollen

This is my grandmothers family recipe. Easy, quick and delicious.

500g flour
2 tsp baking powder
200g sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
1 dash salt
4 drops bitter almond flavor
4 drops lemon flavor
1/2 tsp rhum flavor
1 dash nutmeg
pepper
cinnamon
2 eggs
125g butter
250g quark
125g dried currants
250g raisins
250g grounded hazelnuts
75g candied lemon peel


Mix the flour and baking powder. Add sugar, spices and eggs make with part of the flour mixture a thick porridge style dough. Then cut the butter in pieces add it to the mix together with the quark, and the remaining ingredients. And quickly knead together until you have a smooth dough. If needed add flour.
Roll out the dough until it's about 3 centimeter thick. Fold once and put on a cookie tray. Bake at 150ºC for 1-1 1/2 hours. After Stollen is done take it out of the oven and immediately cover with melted butter and dust with plenty of confectioners sugar.
Let it cool off completely and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store at a cool place for at least 3 and up to 6 weeks.
