Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the margarine or butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined and creamy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
-
Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until everything is thoroughly combined and a smooth batter forms.
-
Add Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the raisins and 2/3 cup of chopped candied fruit (fruit cake mix) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure it reaches all corners.
-
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, pecans, and remaining 1/3 cup of chopped candied fruit (fruit cake mix).
-
Top the Cake: Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the batter, gently patting it down with the back of a spoon to adhere.
-
Bake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the Stollen Coffee Cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm or cooled, cut into squares for easy serving.
