Ron it is still cooling. Will let you know. I looked over my NOTES from you ...when I first started Sourdough Baking...and you mentioned about doing a sponge. I did not want to use 2 cups of my Sourdough Starter really (did not have 2 cups) I did a bunch of baking for neighbor and company coming. I decided to make a sponge: I took one cup of my
sourdough starter added 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup water (made a sourdough starter consistency) and in the morning I had 2 cups...bubbling. And photo I posted (did not want to post twice) is the result. It worked fine. Thanks again, and again....you are responsible for all the results of my Sourdough Baking. Aria

I'm making a pound cake in my cuisinart bread machine. I followed a recipe that was ment for a different bread machine but I think its going to work for mine.

Most of the sponges I make use a cup of sourdough added to flour and water. That bubbles over night and becomes the sponge. The rest of the flour, salt and etc is added the next day.

It is good to keep a good amount of starter though for recipes that use more
