Herman - The German friendship cake follow up

I followed all the instructions with the following modifications:

Day 5: Herman grew and overflowed out of his container..... make sure you have your herman in a much larger container, he grows a lot after you feed him!

Day 10, 11 and 12.... Because Herman overflowed, I gave him an extra two days to grow, I still fed him on day 9 but didn't cook him until day 12.

Verdict:
It was a tasty cake, my family enjoyed it and we all survived! So, go ahead, follow the instructions and continue Hermans journey around the world! :)

Herman - The German friendship cake

I've been given a very random thing... Its a bit like a chain letter but you eat it! Basically my sister came home from Devon to Cornwall with this cake that had travelled to many other places; apparently starting its journey in Germany.

Its a batter colour and consistency and smells a little yeasty. Here are the instructions that came with it:

Day 1: Recieve Herman, stir and cover with a tea towel.
Day 2: Stir well
Day 3: Stir well
Day 4: Herman is hungry :) Add 1 cup each of self raising flour, sugar and milk then stir well.
Day 5: Stir well
Day 6: Stir well
Day 7: Stir well
Day 8: Stir well
Day 9: Herman is hungry :) Add 1 cup each of self raising flour, sugar and milk then stir well. Now divide into 4 equal amounts, keep 1 to cook tomorrow, 1 for yourself if you want to start again, and give the remainder to your friends with a copy of the instructions.
Day 10: Herman is very hungry, stir well and add the following:
1 cup sugar
2 cups self raising flour
2 eggs
2 chopped cooking apples
2/3 cup cooking oil
1 cup raisens
2 tsps vanilla essence
2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts

Stir well and pour into a greased baking tin. Sprinkle with brown sugar if required. Herman wants to go on a hot vacation.
Bake at 170-180°C (gas mark 4) for about 45 mins (check after 35 mins).
Herman is ready to eat!

I will blog with a follow up, I'm currently on day 4 with my Herman.
