-0500 Herman Coffee Cake (or the 16 day friendship bread). If you
don't have a starter, it is made by stirring 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of
sugar and 1 cup of milk into a non metallic container. Let mixture sit
for five days stirring once each day. On the 6th day feed Herman with:
1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk. Stir once a day for five more
days. On the eleventh day, feed Herman again: 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup
flour, 1 cup milk. Stir once a day for five more days. On the
sixteenth day, you have five cups of Herman. Use 2 cups for baking,
keep 1 cup to restart and give 1 cup each to two friends. (Or make two
large loaves and keep the one cup for yourself to restart.) To
restart, I usually add 1 cup of each (sugar, flour and milk) to the
starter and do the 16 day process all over again. When the process is
over, you will have 6 cups of starter. If you do the 11 day process to
the starter adding 1/2 cup of sugar each along with the rest of the
process, then you may want to add the toppings to give it the
sweet-sourdough taste that you want. Prepare to bake. Mix all cake
ingredients. Pour into greased 9x13 pan or use 2 7+1/4 x 7+1/4 pans
for freezing. Topping #1: Mix and sprinkle on unbaked cake mix. Bake
60 minutes for large loaf pan or 25 to 30 minutes for smaller loafs at
350 degrees F. Topping #2: Mix and bring to boil. Drizzle topping
on hot cake. Cool and cover - eat or freeze. If reheating after
freezing, put foil on top. (The two separate toppings are optional. I
make the loaves without the toppings and the cakes still taste
excellent to me. Of course I always follow the 16 day process. Without
the toppings, I sometimes put cream cheese on my slices; it brings out
more of the sweet/sourdough taste.) Enjoy. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES
