Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup amish starter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp molasses
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp clove
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4-1/2 cup candied orange peel (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fairly thin cream cheese frosting

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: starter, egg, oil, applesauce, milk or cream, vanilla, and molasses. Stir well.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, and pudding mix in a separate bowl. Whisk until well-combined.
  4. Add dry mix gradually to wet mix, and stir until barely combined. Stir in candied peel if using.
  5. Spread in greased loaf pan.
  6. Bake (at 325 degrees) approximately one hour. Check it at fifty minutes to determine baking time for your oven!
  7. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. When BARELY warm to the touch, spread cream cheese frosting over top of loaf. I like runny, glazey, drippy frosting-if you like it thicker, you'll need more frosting and a light hand to keep from tearing pieces off the top of this tender loaf!
