This is the fifth 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.

2 mashed bananas (200g)
160 ml vegetable oil

Line a 25 x 35 x 3 cm cake tin with baking paper. Place the starter, bananas, oil,
eggs, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Add
flour, baking powder and cinnamon, blend until evenly mixed. Add white
chocolate to the mixture and mix until combined. Spread the mixture evenly in
the prepared tin. Spread ¼ cup brown sugar (55g) and ¼ cup melted butter (55g)
on top of the batter. Bake in the oven for approx. 35 minutes and allow cooling
before cutting.

other ingredients such as dried fruits or nuts.
