Preparation
Step 1
Pour the sugar and salt into a bowl. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add the vanilla powder. Mix and make a well in the center.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and add them to the flour. Then pour the honey into the flour, add the citrus zest and softened butter. Knead the dough; it should become elastic and come together easily into a ball.
Step 3
Add the nuts and raisins to the dough. Rinse and dry the raisins beforehand. Mix everything well.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 2 parts, or bake it as 1 large log if desired, and shape 2 logs. Place the shaped logs on a silicone mat and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 356°F for 30 minutes, until a golden crust forms on top.
Step 5
Let the baked logs cool for 10 minutes, but not longer, then cut them into slices.
Step 6
Return the slices to the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 170°C / 338°F. Leave a small gap between the slices.
