hers is more biscotti. a stollen is supposed to be somewhat moist from the fruit.

my German friends walked me thru what is for them.

I think the almond paste/marzipan is optional. Most of the stollen that I've had included it, but not all of them. I thought that was weird and looked it up. What I found said that it was optional. For me, I definitely want the marzipan.
