Herman The German Friendship Cake

I don't know if anyone else has ever done this recipe but it was given to me by my neighbour and we all became rather attached to Herman the cake who patiently bubbled away on our kitchen worktop for 10 days!


Here is the final picture of our "Herman" 

The children really enjoyed helping to feed Herman and the delight of watching the bubble mix grow and expand would have made even Peppa Pig jealous.


As you can see - we did not manage to kill him during the 10 days process but confess that he tasted so good, that he has now passed into the "tummy" life of our household.


I did not know much about this mixture but a quick Google search has shown that Herman is hitting the headlines and even made an appearance on Woman's Hour!.


Here is the recipe and Herman's own webpage for those who want to get involved.
