Amish Friendship Bread/cake

Do not use metal spoon or bowl, and do not refrigerate the starter mix!

This is a fermented process. The batter will expand during fermenting. The use of metal utensils or bowls will spoil the fermenting process.

STARTER:

1c. flour,

1c. milk,

1c. sugar,

Mix well with wooden spoon. (If a friend has given you a jar of starter mix, you do not need to make the above starter mix. Just begin with "Day 1".)
Day 1: Do Nothing.
Day 2 through 5: Stir with wooden spoon.
Day 6: Add;

1c. flour,

1c. milk,

1c. sugar,

mix well with wooden spoon.
Day 7 through 8: Stir with wooden spoon.
Day 10: Add;

1c. flour,

1c. milk,

1c. sugar,

Give two jars of starter to friends with this recipe. Keep the third jar to bake the following:

In a large bowl, add;

1c. oil,

1/2 c. milk,

3 eggs,

1 ts vanilla,

and mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, mix;

2 c. flour,	1 c. sugar,	1 1/2 ts baking powder,
2 ts cinnamon,	1/2 ts salt,	1/2 ts baking soda,
1 c. chopped pecans,	1 small box Instant Vanilla Pudding and mix well.

Grease 2 loaf pans and sprinkle with a Sugar/Cinnamon mix. Pour batter into loaf pans and sprinkle some extra Sugar/Cinnamon on top.
Bake in 325 degree oven for one hour. Cool and remove from pans. This is sinfully delicious.

Do not use a knife on this. This bread represents fellowship, and all the good things that come with that. Using a knife to cut this bread is paramount to using a knife to cut a friendship.
