I take it that the remove three cups of the mixture for a friend is the starter, do they have to wait 24-36 hours before they start the process

[binley100]

No, they can dive straight in from day 1. It's one cup to a friend so you need three people to pass it on to.

thanks binbag will pass it on to mother and no doubt be eatting it very soon :O).

Should really make it myself and pass it on

Shouldn't it be left to 'rise' a bit after mixing all the ingredients together and before baking?????

[binley100]

We have never done....but you can give it a go if you think it needs it.

[Waffler]

Aw! Was just thrown back in time to when I did this aged around 9. I remember the process, but I don't ever remember the eating bit. Is it good?

[binley100]

Of course........It's cake
