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.
