how do you make hermann cake?

Answer 1

Hermann is a sour dough starter. Here's the way to begin your starter:
STARTER
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
HERMAN BREAD
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup granulated sugar
2 whole eggs
2/3 cup cooking oil (I use canola)
1 cup nuts or raisins, boiled & drained (I use pecans)
TOPPING
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
GLAZE
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts


# STARTER: Stir Ingredients together, mixing well, in a gallon container.
# Cover tightly and refrigerate.
# Feed Herman the same 3 Starter ingredients (above) every 5 days for a total of 4 times (20 days).
# Stir Herman daily.
# When you are ready to bake a Herman Cake, you should have about eight cups of starter.
# Bake Herman cake (recipe below) on the 25th day from the first feeding.
# ***Keep your own starter growing, use some to bake a Herman Cake, and give some to friends.
# ***SHARING YOUR STARTER: If someone gives you a cup of Herman Starter, you must feed it for 10 days before you bake with it.
# Day 1: Feed Starter with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup milk.
# Stir, cover and refrigerate.
# Day 2-4: Stir.
# Leave in refrigerator.
# Day 5: Feed Starter again with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, and 1 cup milk.
# Stir, cover and refrigerate.
# Day 6-9: Stir.
# Leave in refrigerator.
# ***Herman should now be about 4 cups: use 2 cups to bake, give 1 cup to friend, and keep 1 cup to grow more Starter.

# ***Day 10: MAKE HERMAN CAKE AS FOLLOWS: Mix all Herman Cake ingredients together, along with 2 cups of Herman Starter, and pour into a greased/floured bundt pan.
# Sprinkle top with Topping mixture.
# Bake 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
# Or use a 15x19-2" pan and bake 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
# TOPPING MIXTURE: Mix together all Topping ingredients and sprinkle over cake BEFORE baking.
# GLAZE: Mix all Glaze ingredients together and cook for 5 minutes.
# Pour over top of hot baked Herman Cake.

Go to any big city where lots of Germans hang out, get chatting to them and find one called Hermann. Pull out your pistol and shoot him cleanly - minimal suffering. Wrap him up and put him in the car boot and take him home.

Mince him up and add to your normal cake mixture. Cook until done.

I DON'T KNOW!!! I DON'T MAKE CAKES!! I AM A DIABETIC!!
