Someone gave me a starter for German Friendship Cake - this is a sourdough culture that you feed for a while, then divide and use some, giving other portions of the live starter away to friends.
But what if nobody gives *you* the sourdough starter? Well, don't worry - you can make something very similar, called Billy No Mates Cake.

These chocolate muffins have two surprises in store - inside the moist chocolate cake, there's a nugget of juicy pear, and the cooked flour frosting is amazingly creamy and light.

These spiced, fruity cakes have some of the complex flavours you might normally associate with a fruit cake, except they have the light and soft texture of a muffin.
