EASY, EASY FRIENDSHIP CAKE



Easy, Easy Friendship Cake image

It is simple and sweet. The original directions, which call for baking in a tube pan and pouring hot syrup over the cake in the pan, work. We also tried it in a Bundt pan, with the hot syrup drizzled over the cake after removing from the pan. That worked equally well.

FRIENDSHIP CAKE AND STARTER



Friendship Cake and Starter image

This recipe has been around for many years and is all over the internet, but thought I would add it for those who have never seen it. You must first make the yeast starter which takes 2 weeks and then go on to the fruit starter which takes 30 days. It's a fun thing to do with your children, allowing them to add the fruit each time and then make the cake. The cake is very moist! Enjoy! TIP=One package of dry active yeast= 2 1/4 teaspoons or 1/4 ounce)
