BLUEBERRY FRIENDSHIP BREAD OR BUNDT CAKE (COFFEECAKE)
Another way to use your Amish Friendship Bread Starter. If you don't have starter, use Recipe #153 to start the process. You can add a simple glaze of 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar mixed with 1-2 Tbls. of milk, or you can leave it plain. Can be used as a dessert or coffeecake. In response to the 1-star reviews: I'm not sure why people are having problems with the recipe. It is just an adaptation of Recipe #60676. I've made it numerous times without any problems (as you can see in the photos). There isn't any added sugar because the sugar is in the starter.

HERMAN COFFEE CAKE STARTER AND BREAD
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.

- Gradually add the eggs to the batter: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
