10 days ago, I posted about the birth of Herman the German Friendship Cake.
Well, on Sunday, after 10 days of nuturing and care, my Amish chain-letter cake was ready to be baked.
It's not all been smooth sailing; day 3 was particuarly traumatic for poor Herman as he was transported from my home in Hertfordshire, down the M25,via a Heathrow passenger drop off to Guildford. In the process, my laptop fell on him and a suitcase came inches from crushing him. But good old Herman kept on bubbling and was deposited safely to George's kitchen work top where I was spending the week.
The trauma didn't end there for poor Herman, however; day 10 (bake day) Herman was hungry but alas it was Easter Sunday, which in Britain is one of only three day Tesco (and therefore all other supermarkets big or small) shuts its doors. Herman had to starve for an extra day.
Despite all this, Herman survived his 10 day ordeal in the Shearer household and so, without further a do, meet Herman the German Friendship Cake -
Apples, raisins, cinnamon, yummy batter and ice cream - mmm Herman tasted gooood.
Want to make your own Herman? Don't have a friend to send you your Herman-mini? Never fear, I have the recipe for a Herman The German Friendship Starter Kit. You can start your own Herman chain!
