DD1 has brought "Herman" the friendship cake home from school. Am hoping from some advice from someone who has looked after Herman before OR who knows a bit about sourdough cooking.
(If you have no idea what I'm talking about, google herman cake and marvel!)
Basically, we have been looking after Herman diligently for 10 days and are about to make the cake. But I've tasted the sourdough mixture and it tastes distinctly alcoholic. Is that normal for a sourdough, or have we managed to ferment it into something dodgy?!?!
(Hoping that everyone will say "don't be silly, it's meant to taste like that" or I will have v disappointed child ... plus three friends!)
