A golden glow! Spice-scented “Blissful Stollen-like Pound Cake
Even after Christmas is over, you want to relive that excitement again! This easy and rich Stollen-like pound cake will make your wish come true. We aimed to create a heart-warming winter dessert with no time-consuming work, but with the aroma of authentic spices and dried fruits locked in.
material
| Material name | amount |
|---|---|
| weak flour | 150g |
| baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Butter (unsalted) | 100 g (brought to room temperature) |
| granulated sugar | 80g |
| egg | 2 (medium size, brought to room temperature) |
| (cow’s) milk | 2 tablespoons |
| Mixed dried fruits (soaked in rum) | 80g |
| Walnuts (chopped) | 30g |
| cinnamon powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
| nutmeg powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| cardamom powder | 1/4 teaspoon |
| melted butter for finishing | 10g |
| Powdered sugar for finishing | proper quantity |
way of making
- Preparation:Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a pound cake mold with a cookie sheet. Sift together flour, baking powder and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom). Lightly mix the dried fruit and walnuts.
- Knead butter:Place the room temperature butter in a bowl and knead well with a whisk until creamy. The key is to make it fluffy and light.
- Mix in sugar:Add granulated sugar in two or three additions, mixing well each time. thoroughly until the mixture is white, fluffy and creamy.
- Add eggs:Add the beaten eggs a little at a time, mixing well so that they do not separate each time. If it seems to separate, add a little of the sifted flour to the mixture.
- Add flour and milk:Add half of the sifted flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula until incorporated. While the mixture is still a little powdery, add the milk, then the remaining flour, and mix until powdery. Do not knead too much or the mixture will become sticky.
- Add dried fruit and walnuts:Add the rum-soaked dried fruit and chopped walnuts and mix gently to evenly distribute the mixture throughout. At this point, a sweet, gorgeous aroma develops and anticipation builds.
- Fill the mold:Pour the dough into the prepared mold and flatten the surface with a rubber spatula. Drop the mold lightly with a thump to release air.
- Firing:Bake in a preheated oven at 170℃ for 40-45 minutes. If nothing sticks to the skewer, it is done. The moment the sweet and spicy aroma wafting from the oven fills the kitchen is bliss!
- Finishing:While the baked cake is still hot, brush the surface with melted butter and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar after the heat is removed. The result is as beautiful as if snow had fallen. The way the powdered sugar melts into the cake is also a beautiful sight.
This is the secret to good taste!
