[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Fwd: sourdough applesauce cake

Fri Apr 29 16:16:51 UTC 2022

Many years ago, probably 35 years, a group of friends had a friendship cake
starter we passed around. There were cans of fruit cocktail, a yellow cake
mix I think, and lots of other stuff. It was a very moist cake with plenty
to pass on to your friends. 
I keep saying, when my back and leg gets better I'm going to do this and
that. I would like to start sour dough bread and cake starter.

To add to what Ramona said, don't use metal spoons or bowls for your
starter.  Use glass,or crockery to store the starter and plastic or wood to
stir it.

The best way to get sourdough starter is to make it. If someone gives you
some, just continue to feed it and use it. Most people keep it in the
fridge, but freezing works just fine. When you thaw it, it will be very
active. To make it, use equal parts water and flour in a gallon jar or large
crock. Mix together and add 2 tablespoons of sugar and/or 1 pk. yeast. Let
it set at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours. Check every couple of hours
to be sure it will not overflow. It may be _very active. After the activity
has been reduced, save 1 to 2 cups and throw the rest away. This initial
batch will not have very good flavor. Feed what you save with equal parts
water and flour and refrigerate or let stand at room temperature. Then use
half in bread or cake or muffins or something and enjoy it! Feed what you
save and keep in fridge unless you want to use it in pancakes every day;
then do not refridgerate. This is the old-fashioned starter, not the milk
starter that many call friendship starter being passed around now and used
in cakes and quickbreads. The old-fashioned starter can certainly be used in
sweet items, but should not be mixed with the sweet milk starter. One more
thing: do not use self-rising flour. Either white or wheat flour is fine.
Most people like to keep using the same kind of flour when feeding, but
either works. The flavor is different, and most people prefer one or the
other.  
Best,
