This is the sixth cake I have made with this starter.
Hello, my
name is Herman. I am a sourdough cake.
My starter is designed to sit on your worktop at room
temperature (18-20ºC) for 10 days without a lid.
Day 1: Place the
starter in a large bowl and cover loosely with a tea towel.
Day 2: Stir well
Day 3: Stir well
Day 4: The
starter is hungry. Add 1 cup each of plain flour (150g), sugar (220g) and milk
(250ml). Stir well.
Day 5: Stir well
Day 6: Stir well
Day 7: Stir well
Day 8: Stir well
Day 9: Add the
same ingredients as day 4 and stir well. Divide into 4 equal portions and give
friends 1 portion with a copy of these instructions. Keep at least 1 portions
for your self.
Day10: The starter
is ready to make the cake.
