HERMAN COFFEE CAKE STARTER AND BREAD



Herman Coffee Cake Starter and Bread image

This delicious cake (and starter) should be shared with friends, who in turn share with their friends ... and on and on. Thus, often called a "Friendship Cake", it fills the house with an irresistible aroma and makes a lovely present for any Holiday. Although it takes about 3 weeks for the Starter to be ready to use, feeding Herman is very quick and easy. This recipe was given to me by a friend over 30 years ago, and I still enjoy sharing this Herman Cake & Starter (including recipe). Prep. time does not include making the Starter the very first time.

(HERMAN STARTER) COFFEECAKE



(Herman Starter) Coffeecake image

This is a cinnamon topping coffeecake made with the famous Herman starter. If you don't have your own Herman in the fridge, search for Herman starter here on recipezaar.com to get it started, or beg a cup from a friend who does. Well worth the little bit of extra effort! Topping ingredients are listed within the recipe to keep them separate from the batter ingredients.

Time 55m

Yield 1 9 x 13 pan of cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups herman starter, five days after last feeding
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 pan.
  • Beat eggs; add sugar and oil, beating well.
  • Add remaining dough ingredients (starter, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, baking soda, salt, nuts &/or raisins) and beat 2 minutes with electric mixer at medium speed. (Note: This goes against my policy to not mix flour any more than necessary to get the dough to come together. I don't beat it this much myself.).
  • Pour dough into greased 9x13 bakign pan.
  • Combine the topping ingredients: 1T flour, 1t cinnamon, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle topping over batter in pan.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check middle of cake for doneness; otherwise it may turn out soggy.
  • Note: 1 teaspoon each of nutmeg and ginger may be added as well. Another variation places the nuts in the topping and folds one cup of drained, crushed fruit (pineapple, peaches, etc) into the batter.

HERMAN STARTER



Herman Starter image

This is a recipe for the yeast starter affectionately called "Herman." It's kept in your fridge and fed every five days. I'll be entering more recipes for Herman as time permits, so come back and search every once in a while!

Provided by Fuzzys Finds

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 5m

Yield 1 bowl of starter, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • combine all ingredients to a smooth batter in a 2-quart glass or ceramic container (no metal). Cover with cheesecloth or other loose covering, and keep in a warm place (around 80 degrees F) for 3 to 4 days to ferment. It should expand and bubble. When ready it should have a yeasty, slightly sour smell.
  • At this point, this is Herman's "First Day" in the ten-day cycle of Herman Life. He's ready for his first feeding.
  • Feeding Herman: Mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir this into Herman, cover loosely, and place in the fridge. It will be lumpy. Stir daily (but if you forget a day, he'll be fine).
  • In five days, you'll need to feed him again. (Day 5).
  • In five more days (Day 10), you'll feed him again and/or use him to make something. Pay attention to the specific recipe to see whether you feed him just before making the item or afterwards.
  • Herman can be used for biscuits, coffeecake, pancakes, cookies, banana bread, sweet rolls, and more. I believe the recipes I have have been handed down from one Herman owner to another for decades. Hope you enjoy!
