Recipe wanted for 30 day friendship cake and starter

[chiknlady]

Does anyone have the recipe for this delicious cake--you tend to it for 30 days by adding sugar and flour to the starter and then make scrumptious cakes with canned fruit and give it to friends?

I used to have it--but 3 moves later it seems to have vanished...

Thank you

I used to have that recipe too and haven't been able to put my hands on it since I moved to Va.

I always used candied fruits and nuts.

I have the starter just no cake recipe.

Starter
1 cup flour
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
1 pkg. yeast

Stir. Measure out three 1-cup starters and make three copies of the instructions for distribution to three friends. (The starters will be the first day of the batter-making process.)
With the remaining starter, make the following streusel or bread.
