AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE



Amish Friendship Cake image

Always save 1 cup of starter for your next cakes, then start with day 2 of the starter instructions instead of having to start a new starter each time. You can also give some starter to friends, or sourdough starter can be used in place of the Friendship Starter.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ teaspoon active dry yeast

QUICK AMISH FRIENDSHIP BREAD OR MUFFINS (NO STARTER REQUIRED)



Quick Amish Friendship Bread or Muffins (No Starter Required) image

I love this bread and I had a craving for it, but didn't want to wait the month it took for the starter to be ready, so, I modified it a bit. It might not be quite as tasty as the original, but it's great if you want it in a hurry! I like to use butterscotch pudding for a different, but really nice flavor! Hope you enjoy!
