How to Make Friendship Fruit Starter Cake

  1. In a gallon jar, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup peach juice, and 1 cup pineapple juice. Stir well.
  2. Cover the jar with a cloth (not a lid) and stir several times daily for 2 weeks.
  3. After 2 weeks, combine the fruit starter mixture (1 1/2 cups) with 2 1/2 cups sugar and 4 cups of chopped peaches (with their juice). Stir well and let sit for 10 days, stirring daily.
  4. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar and 4 cups of chopped pineapple (with its juice). Stir well and let sit for another 10 days, stirring daily.
  5. Add 2 1/2 cups sugar, 4 cups of fruit cocktail (with its juice), and 2 cups of chopped cherries. Stir well and let sit for 10 more days, stirring daily.
  6. After 10 days, drain the excess fruit juice from the mixture. Share 1 1/2 cups of the fruit starter with 4-5 friends!
  7. **To make the cake:** In a large bowl, combine your cake ingredients (recipe not provided, please add the ingredients).
  8. Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. **To make the icing:** (Recipe not provided, please add the ingredients). Beat all icing ingredients until fluffy. Double the icing recipe if making three cakes.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the icing.
  13. Optionally, freeze individual cakes for later enjoyment.
