FRIENDSHIP CAKE AND STARTER
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)

Steps:
- In a 1-gallon glass jar with a wide mouth and lid, combine the peaches, pineapple, maraschino cherries, sugar and yeast (make sure the yeast is well mixed with syrup).
- Stir mixture two times the first day.
- Stir once a day afterward.
- Do not refrigerate this mixture.
- Keep loosely covered.
- Two weeks after starting the starter, add 1/2 cup peaches and 1/2 cup pineapple with syrup.
- Wait for several days, stirring daily, and drain 2 cups of mixed fruit and use to make cake as directed in the cake recipe.
- Reserve 1 1/2 cups starter juice and leave in glass gallon jar.
- Count this as Day One, and start the process for renewing the starter and making the cake.
- DAY 1: To reserved 1 1/2 cups starter juice (or to starter juice given you by a friend), add 2 1/2 cups sugar and a 2-lb can of peaches with syrup.
- Stir daily.
- Keep loosely covered.
- Do not refrigerate.
- DAY 10: Add 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, a 2 pound can pineapple chunks with juice.
- Stir daily.
- Keep loosely covered.
- Do not refrigerate.
- DAY 20: Add 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 8 to 10 oz drained and halved maraschino cherries.
- Stir daily.
- Keep loosely covered.
- Do not refrigerate.
- DAY 30: Drain fruit, reserving 1 1/2 cups juice for renewing starter.
- Use drained fruit to make 3 cakes (see recipe), give excess starter juice to friends, and start a new batch of fruit (repeat aforementioned process).
- At the end of 30 days, you will have enough excess starter juice to give to about four friends.
- Be sure to keep enough juice (1 1/2 cups) for your own starter.
- At the end of 30 days, there will be enough fruit to use 1 3/4 cups fruit in each cake, which makes the cake better and doesn't waste the fruit.
- The cakes can be frozen.
- It is not necessary to bake all three cakes the same day, but stir the remaining fruit mixture every day until it is used (this fruit mixture can be refrigerated until used).
- The drained fruit can be frozen until you are ready to bake the cakes.
AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE
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.

Steps:
- To Make Starter: Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup of the flour, and 1 cup of the milk in a non-metal bowl and stir with a non-metal spoon until creamy. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place for two days to ferment. It will become bubbly and have a sour odor. Do not place in refrigerator. On second day, third day, and fourth day: stir. On fifth day, add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and stir. On sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth day: stir. On tenth day add 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk. Reserve 1 cup starter; pour remaining starter, 1 cup each, into 3 containers to give away to friends if desired. Starter is enough for 8 loaves.
- To Make Cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8 or 9 inch loaf pans.
- Mix 1 cup of the starter, oil, baking powder, eggs, 1 cup of the sugar, 2 cups of the flour, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, vanilla, and chopped nuts. Stir in the baking soda just before pouring the batter into the prepared pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Bananas, dates, or raisins can be added for variety.

DAWN'S AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE WITH STARTERS
This is FABULOUS...YUMMO! There are 3 steps to this Amish Friendship Cake Starter... There is the Initial Amish Starter, The Secondary Starter, and The Amish Friendship Cake... I have posted all the recipes here all in one place. Preparation time is way off, as this is not your typical recipe and preparation takes 30 days. If you want to make a Carrot Cake, use a Spice Cake mix in place of the Yellow Cake mix, and add 1 c. shredded carrot, and 1 c. raisins to the recipe.

FRIENDSHIP FRUIT STARTER
If you must start from scratch for the Thirty Day Friendship Cake, here is the recipe to make your first batch of starter. This is a fruit-based starter as opposed to the common flour-based starter in Amish Friendship Bread. I received my first starter for this cake in 1992. It makes a wonderful, moist cake (actually, 2 cakes per batch) to feed a crowd; and has a tropical flavor to it. I was extremely grateful to find this recipe at allrecipes.com. I have found the starter to be quite forgiving. Don't start this if you will be gone for a week or two but it will survive if left unattended for a weekend or a few days... just keep counting and resume stirring when you return. Note: Prep time includes aging time for starter
