I have just been given a starter mix for this friendship cake. I cannot pass a starter mix on to anyone so I googled the recipe. I hope you will try it and pass on a starter mix to your friends. Herman the German friendship cake.

Starter
1 cup flour
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 package dry yeast
First Day and Fifth Day
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
Tenth Day
2 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Topping
1/4 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour


Mix starter ingredients in a bowl and let stand at room temperature undisturbed for 24 to 36 hours.
(If you already have your one cup of starter from a friend, disregard the above.) Place starter in a medium bowl and combine it with the"First Day" ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate.
Stir once a day for 5 days.
On the 5th day, place in a larger bowl and add the"Fifth Day" ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate.
Stir once a day for 5 more days.Talk to Herman he likes it
Remove 3 separate cups of starter and give each cup to 3 friends with the recipe and instructions.
(They will not need to mix their starter or let it sit for 24 to 36 hours because you are giving them their starter.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all of the"Tenth Day" ingredients with the remaining mixture.
Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13" pan.
Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top.
Bake for 40- 50 minutes.

Happy baking .
