Submitted by uninvited-guest on March 09, 2011 at 11:42 pm
A basic cinnamon flavored bread/cake to be made from Amish Friendship Starter.
Yield: 24 servings
1 1/2 cups Amish Starter
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (5-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup chopped pecans
2 - 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar, optional
You must check for doneness with a skewer or toothpick. Looks and touch are deceiving.
Preheat oven to 325* F. Generously grease and sugar pans. [1 bundt/tube, 2 large loaf, 3 small loaf, or 5 mini loaf]
In a large bowl, mix together starter, oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and vanilla pudding.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix thoroughly.
Stir in pecans.
Distribute batter evenly in pan(s). Sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar, if desired.
Bake for 40 - 75 minutes, depending on pans used. Test for doneness with a skewer, which should come out clean. If top browns too fast, cover with a tent of aluminum foil.
