Chocolate Stollen

A Stollen is a traditional German cake - a loaf-shaped cake containing dried fruit and covered with sugar, powdered sugar or icing sugar.This is low in sweetness. Happen to taste this Yumm Chocolate Stollen two days back,its buttery and flaky choco layers made me try this sweet at home.Tried it with a ready-made puff pastry.U can try it with flour and few other ingredients needed.U can try this filling with any other Sweet or savory filling.
