Marzipan Stollen

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups sr flour
3/4 cup sugar
115g marge
3/4 cup water
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
100g glace cherries
50-75g sultanas
170g marzipan

Method

Rub together the flour, sugar and marge until it resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in the water, egg and vanilla essence, then add the glace cherries and sultanas.
Knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary, then roll out into a large circle.
Roll the marzipan into a rope just shorter than the circle of dough. Place it along the middle of the dough, then fold both sides of the dough over it, and close the ends to seal. Place the loaf, seam side down, on a lined tray.
Bake for 45 mins at 180. Dust with icing sugar before slicing it to serve.
