Friendship Cake Starter Amish Recipe

	Henrie / All my dishes 4 months, 3 weeks ago This is a time consuming recipe in that you have to prepare the fruit first, prep time does not include the 30 days to prepare fruit mixture. Bake time is 90 minutes for bundt cake or 75 minutes for loafs. I'm getting hungry for this just typing in... More Prep:30m Cook:90m Servings:1	Henrie

Ingredients

20 oz Sliced peaches -- chopped

7 1/2 c Sugar -- divided

1 Package dry yeast

20 oz Pineapple -- crushed

10 oz Maraschino cherries

30 oz Fruit cocktail -- cut

Do not drain fruit. Combine peaches and 2-1/2 c sugar and yeast in a 1-gallon glass or crockery jar with a loose fitting lid, stir to mix. Stir daily for 10 days.

On the 10th day, add pineapple and 2-1/2 c sugar. Stir daily for another 10 days. Add cherries, fruit cocktail and remaining sugar and stir daily for 10 more days.

Drain fruit, reserve juice for the next batch. Makes enough fruit

for 4 cakes. To make more starter, use 1-1/2 cups starter juice eliminate yeast but continue with peaches and sugar etc......

DAY 31:--

You are ready to make your cakes.

You need:

3 boxes Duncan Hines butter recipe cake mix (for three mixings)

3 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix

1 doz. eggs

Wesson oil (2/3 c. each for three mixings), (you may substitute)

3 c. raisins (white or dark)

3 c. walnuts

3 c. pecans

3 c. coconut

(You may add red and green cherries, if you desire)

Preheat oven to 300.

Drain fruit in colander over large bowl for about 15 min or until fruit has stopped draining. This juice is your NEW STARTERS. Fruit cake must be started within three days after receiving new starters.

3 SEPARATE MIXINGS:

Pour one box cake mix, 1 box pudding mix, 4 eggs, 2/3 c oil and 1 1/2 c of fruit into a bowl and stir with spoon (DO NOT USE A MIXER). Add 1 c raisins, 1 c chopped pecans, 1 c chopped walnuts, 1 c coconut, and mix thoroughly with wooden spoon.

Grease and flour either bundt pan or your loaf pans (I prefer four 2 lb loaf pans for each mix.)

Bake bundt pan or tube pan for approximately 1 1/2 hrs.

Loaf pans take from 1 hr to 1 hr 15 min-until nicely brown depending on your oven.

CAKES CAN BE FROZEN. They are easier to cut in slices, if cut when frozen. Thaws quickly.

Directions

Follow above directions :)

Henrie, I was looking at my Amish friendship cake recipe yesterday!! The problem was I didn't have the starter. Now here it is. I love this cake, but it comes at a time when I am trying to cut back on sweets. ; ) Oh well, my son and husband will love it and I still get to bake. You have my 5 once again DF.

How did you get the starter??? That is so TOP SECRET you have to join the Amish to get it! I'm glad you posted. I always have to wait for someone to give me a starter...and it's been a couple of years since my last one. Thanks for posting...

I had the stater recipe 15 years ago but lost it and had no way of trying this cake because they gave me the recipe for the starter but not the rest of the directions to go about making the cake. Thanks for both.
