Kuglof with dried fruit
A simple recipe, for Christmas or Easter, but also for every other day. It’s a bit reminiscent of panettone, but it’s not. For company, with coffee and for kids, no coffee.
Preparation steps
- Combine the yolks, whole eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar, then stir well to dissolve the sugar a little. In another bowl, combine the smooth, sharp, starchy flour, dry yeast.
- Dried apricots cut into 3-4 smaller pieces. Soak them for 5 minutes in water which we then throw away. Soak raisins and cranberries in rum. Melt the butter in a steamer. Grate the zest of a lemon and an orange.
- Add the contents of the bowl with the eggs and sugar to the flour bowl. Then add melted butter, dried fruit, grated citrus peel, milk and cream. Stir well and leave covered for 10-15 minutes in a warm place. Transfer to a buttered and floured baking tin and leave in it for another 10-15 minutes.
- Bake at 150 degrees C for about 30 minutes, then another 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees. For the last 10 minutes, put aluminum foil or from the beginning of the oven with the base of the kuglof mold. When it cools down a bit, take it out of the mold and sprinkle with powdered sugar
