This takes 30 days to prepare the fruit for the cake but it's worth it. It's delicious. If you are lucky a 'friend' will give you 2 cups of starter along with a piece of cake so you won't have to go to all the trouble of preparing a starter. If you have the starter, begin with step 1. If you don't have the starter, follow the link to Friendship Fruit Starter. It will actually take 50 days total, if you need to make the starter.

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups Friendship Fruit Starter
1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches with juice
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks with juice
½ cup white sugar
2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries
2 ½ cups white sugar
2 (18.25 ounce) packages yellow cake mix
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 ⅓ cups vegetable oil
8 eggs
2 cups golden raisins
2 cups chopped walnuts
2 cups flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Day One: In a large glass jar or bowl, combine 2 cups of the starter with 1 can of the sliced peaches and their juice (each slice chopped into 4 pieces). Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar and stir once every day for 10 days. When not stirring mixture, keep it covered with a paper towel, foil, or a loose lid. Let sit at room temperature. Don't refrigerate it or cover it airtight. A pan of water underneath the jar or bowl will keep the ants out.
  • Day Ten: Add 1 can of chunk pineapple and its juice. Cut each chunk of pineapple in half. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar. Stir once everyday for 10 days. The color should change, and the mixture should foam when stirred.
  • Day Twenty: Slice each cherry in half, and stir in. Add 2 1/2 cups of the white sugar. Stir once every day for the final 10 days. The cherries will give the juice back its pinkish color.
  • Day Thirty: Drain fruit and reserve it and the liquid. The fruit will be used in the cake. Pour the liquid into 3 glass or ceramic pint jars. One for you to start your next cake, and two for friends. Cake must be started within 3 days after receiving the starter, or you should freeze the starter to use at a later date. Do not use plastic or metal containers to store liquid!
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x13-inch baking pans.
  • It's best to mix the two cakes separately. Combine 1 box of the cake mix, 1 box of the instant vanilla pudding, 2/3 cup of the vegetable oil, and 4 of the eggs. Stir, then add 1/2 of the drained reserved fruit from the starter. Stir, then add 1 cup of the golden raisins, 1 cup of the chopped nuts and 1 cup of the coconut. Stir until all ingredients are combined. The batter will be stiff. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Repeat for cake number two.
  • Bake cakes at in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the cake will taste. This is especially important for the fruit and nuts.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) so that it cooks evenly. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months. To freeze the cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.

Conclusion:

The Friendship Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and beautiful appearance, this cake is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
