Friendship Cake Starter Amish
From henrie 16 years ago
- 90 minutes to make
- Serves 1
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 the recipe, it makes a really nice cake, so moist and sooo very good. Read more Enjoy!
