Gem_Seb Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ive been given a friendship cake! has anyone ever done one?! I have a tub of yeast and i have to take care of it for 10 days! stiring it and adding milk and flour on day 5, then there will be enough mixture to split into 5 on day 9 to give to 5 friends then on day 10 i need to add eggs, milk, baking poweder, sugar, flour, cinnamon and cook and eat! Its called a Hermon cake! Im intrigued by this growing process but not sure if i like the idea of something that has been going around for 'how long'!!!

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had one last summer.....did everything I should have with it.... fed it, talked to it, stirred it three times clockwise every day etc ......at the given day I mixed in the extras & baked it....no one else ate it but I did, it was very nice actually! I worked on the theory it was cooked for long & hot enough to kill off anything nasty.....and I'm still here with no ill effects Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Sounds like a variation on the soda bread theme. Hope it works and you enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have had one in the cupboard for a month that the children were given that we haven't got around to doing yet. I don't know if it will be any good to use now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 My mum used to do these when I was a teen! Always a cloth covered bowl in one corner of the kitchen. It did taste nice, and if I remember rightly, you had to get rid off all the mixture after so long and start with a new batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
