It's been a long time since I've made that, but I googled it and there's all kinds of info on it. You may just try that and see what they say about it. Hope you can find an answer!

Oh no!!!  Throw it in the trash!!  It will take over your life, it multiplies like Kudzu!!!

It's the dreaded "chain letter" of baked goods!  It's been decades since I had any.  I remember it was tasty but the starter can easily get out of hand.

My apologies for a late answer. With a starter it takes 10 days to make the cake, So whatever day the person made their cake and gave you a starter will count as day 1. I posted this recipe about 4 years ago. If you notice, there is also a starter recipe, You could always make the cake then toss out the starters. I have a friend who puts her starters in a zip lock bag then puts them in the freezer, and uses them when she wants a cake. Her friendship bread turns out just fine. If you freeze the starters,and then want to make a friendship bread, take the starter out of the freezer, then let it thaw. Count that as day one. Here is what I posted 4 years ago......... Hope this helps you in the future. 

With this being my first Christmas without my DM..I am posting this recipe in her honor..She loved it and would make ioaves to share..people requested them. She would make loaves for the members of her Church, the post man..etc. Hope you give it a try. It takes 10 days from start to finish, but worth every bit of the wait.

thanks Carol, however, I am still confused.  I have had the starter for 9 days....the only thing I have done with it is squeez it everday.  I haven't added anything to it just squeezed!!  Can I still bake bread or should I through it out?  Thanks again
