I never quite dare tell him our garden is a strip of Astroturf and my fingers are positively ungreen. I just give him some windfall apples and hope it's a fair exchange. The current Herman revival is gathering momentum with the help of internet chat forums and comes at a time when we are being encouraged to waste less and share more.
In essence, Herman cakes are a quirky fun way of doing something we're out of the habit of doing - sharing surpass food within the community rather than putting stuff in giant freezers or throwing it away. In these times of almost impenetrable packaging and obsessive food hygiene there's added pleasure to be had from eating something that has been through many hands and possibly several generations, and survived to continue the tale.
A friendship cake called Herman. Herman is getting everywhere. Has the friendship cake revival come knocking on your kitchen door? Herman the friendship cake.

Our favorite variations include 3 cups of cut up apples along with the nuts and raisins or a large can of cut up peaches and the nuts.
I also use a little more cinnamon - 2 t. For best flavor it is best to make the coffee cake a day ahead. The flavor becomes more intense as the days pass. The secret to success with the Herman starter is to keep it at room temperature and to avoid using metal spoons or bowls. My Family loved this cake including four small children Read More. This is an excellent coffee cake! I used Splenda brown sugar for the topping and it turned out very well.
The longer this cake sits the better it gets I'm now baking these in 6" bundt pans. Once the topping gets solid I put them on plates and freeze them then vacuum seal them and will be giving them out for Christmas gifts. My next batch I might hold off on the topping and do that once I take them out to thaw closer to Christmas. Chelle Koenig. All Reviews for Herman Coffee Cake.

I'm not wanting to bake again for a while so if there a way to maintain the sourdough until I want to use it again? Thanks in advance. To maintain a healthy starter you have to feed it.
When you do this just remember to divide all ingredients by the same number. Another option is to dry some starter. Spread a little starter evenly on a parchment paper and let it dry on the counter or in the oven do not heat the oven with the light on.
Use the dried starter as part of your flour and reconstitute using the feeding schedule you have. Hope it helps, - Syama. Hi I was given a sourdough starter - but used to have a Herman in the 80s- and the recipes were easier and more versatile than the usual sourdough recipes Can I use regular sourdough starter in Herman recipes? I am afraid the answer is not simple.
Herman starter is sweeter and milder than regular sourdough starters, so a substitution will change the end results somewhat. You will be able to find a good substitution ratio after a few tries. Thanks, Syama. It sure does, so today is the day I cook it. Do you have a link to how to cook it? The recipe links are added to the post - Herman milk bread and coffee cake use Herman starter.
For the pancake - use the sourdough pancake recipe link in the post and substitute Herman Starter for the regular sourdough starter.
Hey, Im confused on the Divide part. After I divide it and start one part feeding. The 2nd part Just seems like it would get smaller and smaller. And I want to share it with my friends. Hi Kimberly, Once you divide, use on portion to cook with or give away and the feed other portion for the next batch. So you will end up with the same amount of starter before you divided it.
Hello, I am starting Herman today. I do live in a warm climate. Am I suppose to put in the refrigerator on the very first day for a few hours, pull it out for a day, and then put back in the refrigerator? I just need some clarification on that.
Hi Anna, If it is warm in the house keep it in the fridge after an hour or so on the first day itself. Return to the fridge. Refrigeration is not an absolute necessity, but I look at it like an added insurance.
This way no damage will be done even if you forget about it for a day or two or don't use it on the 5th day itself. Hope this makes it clearer.
