Amish Friendship Bread

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Equipment | Techniques | Cookbook Disambiguation Pages | Recipes Amish friendship bread is a cinnamon-flavored cake that uses the "discard" from a sourdough starter for part of the leavening. This recipe usually begins with someone giving away a cup (8 ounces / 240 mL) of starter. If you need to make and maintain your own starter, review the guidelines for sourdough starter or quick sourdough starter. The process leading up to baking day requires a little bit of organizational work, but the cake itself is easy to make and bake; all the ingredients are simply stirred together. Despite the name, Amish friendship bread probably has no direct connection to the Amish communities, where "friendship bread" is ordinary bread given to someone who is sick or needs care. The cake can be served warm or at room temperature. It goes well with coffee or tea. Because it is an oil cake, it will keep fresh for about a week at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap or put in a tin with a tight lid.
