Walter son of Herman - sourdough cake (potential!)

Walter (son of Herman) arrived 12 days ago - you are meant to look after and feed him for 10 days then split him into three; one to give away, one to continue feeding and one to add ingredients to and bake (slightly cannibalistic but...)

Well we don't find rules easy to stick to.... so.....

We took 12 days instead of 10 and didn't follow the recipe we were meant to (all fruity and healthy) and made 2 chocolate cakes with chocolate chips in! Very good :)

We have a new sourdough fermenting away which we will name Albert and one to give to a new home, Alice, or place in suspended animation (freeze).

The next one will be fruity - getting tempted to sacrifice Albert or Alice straight away......
...... and inspired to make my own starter from scratch but gluten free.

Apologies for the poor picture forgot to take one yesterday when there was still two cakes; had to hurriedly grab this photo while there was something more than crumbs left!
