German Friendship Cake
1 cup Cake starter
STARTER FOOD
1 cup Milk
1 cup Flour, self-raising
1 cup Sugar
CAKE
2 cup Flour, self-raising
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Oil
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 Eggs
1/2 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Nuts (or other fruits)
15 oz Pineapple chunks,
-drained (one can)
PREPARE STARTER:
Day 1: Blend the starter feed together, and then hand mix in the
starter. I find it easiest to mix the flour and sugar together dry,
add the milk to the starter, and then slowly add the flour and sugar
to the liquid. The starter should never be beaten with a blender or
refrigerated. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, cover with
cling-film or a damp towel, and leave to brew.
Day 2: Thoroughly mix the sourdough, then leave to brew again.
Day 5: As day 1
Day 6: As day 2
Day 10: Print off three copies of this recipe. Here now is why this
is called a friendship cake. Take 3 cups of Sourdough mixture, and
give them away with copies of the recipe as starters to your friends.
Then proceed with the baking.
MAKING THE CAKE: Blend all ingredients thoroughly with remaining
starter. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour mixture into a
well-greased baking tin. Bake for 1 3/4 hours (less in a fan oven),
cool.
NOTES:
* A 10-day Sourdough cake -- This is known as the friendship cake,
it's a bit like a chain letter in that you have to find a set of
friends to pass on the starter to.
During preparation put the starter into a very large bowl (it foams
up), and cover with a lid or with cling film. Yield: Starter and one
cake.
* If you don't get cake starter from a friend, you can probably buy
it in a baking supply store.
* Vary the spices to taste. The cake is quite pleasant if you forget
them.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 10 days brewing starter, 30 minutes preparing cake, 2 hours
baking and cooling.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.

Diet tips
If you enjoy your food, but need to drop a dress size and also boost your overall wellbeing, without doubt you need to eat a specially planned sensible dietary regime. If possible, this must include five helpings of fruit/vegetables each day and also require the optimum blend of fat, carbohydrates and protein.
When devising a daily routine, you have to also attempt to restrict your ingestion of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
At the start of a diet, people frequently concentrate on retail store and well known foods labelled 'low-fat'. This is usually incorrect, seeing as how a food item might be very low in fat, but whilst still remaining much too high in carbs & calories.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then in the course of a normal afternoon, you think you feel hunger when actually you just need a restorative tumbler of water or orange squash. The sensations of hunger and thirst are similar, albeit one of the two can result in weight gain and one doesn't.
As an alternative to paying too much attention to the foods you ought to leave out of your diet, focus on the good foods that you can bring into your dietary regime. If you insert a few nourishing grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you will discover that you feel full and have a significantl;y lower likelihood of being seduced by those damaging mid-afternoon nibbles.
