Friendship Cake
Delicious! Not your traditional fruit cake, makes a great gift.
|
|
This is one of those recipes where the origin
is certainly lost. It is always given with a jar of the fruit starter
and the recipe. It takes 30 days to make unless someone gives you a
jar of starter but it is delicious. Makes three cakes. Traditionally,
you have a cake for you and you give the other two away with a jar of
starter and the recipe. (The starter is the juice) |

Preparation Notes |
|
First Day Ingredients |
- First Day: Stir first day
ingredients together and cover loosely. Stir at random for the next
ten days. Do not refrigerate
- Tenth Day: Add tenth day
ingredients and stir at random for the next ten days. Do not
refrigerate
- Twentieth Day: Add twentieth
day ingredients and stir at random for the next ten days. Do not
refrigerate
- Thirtieth Day:
- Drain fruit from the juice and divide into five
portions about 1 1/2 Cups each. This is your starter. You will use one
of the five portions for each cake you make. Place each portion that
you are not using for cake in a tight container. It will last up to
five days.
- Divide fruit into three parts, one for each cake.
- Mix together all thirtieth day ingredients for each
cake you are making.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Put mix in a greased tube or bundt cake pan or
small loaf pans.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes
Note: During the thirty days, keep the container
(large pickle jars work great) at room temperature. Since this is a
fermentation process, the fruit may bubble. The lid must be kept loose
as it may pop off. The cake may be frozen after baking but the starter
cannot. Throw away any starter not used in five days. |
