Stollen for nougat fans

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Dice the nougat and set aside. Cream 200g of butter with the quark and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and hazelnuts. Combine the flour with the baking powder and gingerbread spice and sift over the cream. Roughly mix everything with a mixer, then knead into a smooth dough using a dough hook or, ideally, by hand. The Stollen does not need to rest. On a floured work surface, roll out the dough into a square approximately 40 x 40 cm. Spread the diced nougat on top. Roll the dough up on both sides and form a Stollen (alternatively, use a Stollen cover). Place the Stollen on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 50 minutes. After baking, let it cool. Melt 50g of butter in a small saucepan and brush the cooled Stollen with it. Dust liberally with powdered sugar.
