FRIENDSHIP BREAD FRUITCAKE.

Today was day 10 of my sweet sourdough starter... I fed the starter and divided it . With the remaining starter in the bowl after dividing it , I added a mix of dried choc pudding mix with vanilla pudding mix to equal 1 cup with 1 cup of plain wholemeal flour . ! dsp of ground nutmeg . 1 tsp of salt , 1 dsp of baking powder . 3 lightly beaten eggs , 3/4 cup of soft brown sugar , 1/2 cup of softened butter / marg . I used my mixer to combine all the ingredients together .( just don't use metal equipment or bowls when preparing your starter .) 2 cups of mixed fruit with peel and chopped crystallised ginger .( soaked in Apera a sweet sherry for 8 hours .) Finally 1 dsp of vanilla extract . Preheat your oven to 160 deg C . Spray a large loaf pan with cooking oil and line with baking paper . Place the batter into the prepared pan . Bake for 2 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean . Remove pan from the oven and let cool , then turn out onto a wire cooling rack . This is delicious ...Enjoy .!
