While the world learned about, and suffered alongside of, the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, I was sequestered in my kitchen for a day of Christmas baking. The year before I was so engrossed in paper-writing that I did little more than mix together an egg with pre-made sugar cookie mix. I set aside this beautiful Friday to watch Christmas movies and bake sweets.
And while I did churn out many great treats, the date will always be connected with the lives of innocent boys, girls, and women that were forever destroyed by insane brutality.
With that said, I am thankful for the gift of time and opportunity to spend with food in our kitchen. This is a recipe for a 'Stollen' as suggested by my mom. It is an incredible three-layer coffee cake, baked to perfection and iced with powdered sugar, butter, milk, and sweetness of the soul.
