If anyone has started a friendship cake, I need the recipe for the starter.?

I have'nt had frienship cake in over 20 years. It's the cake batter (1 cup) that you put on your counter for a few days and you add ingredients while it ferments like sugar,etc. When it's time to make the cake you pass on 1 cup of starter to 3 friends with directions (I need that too). I've only recieved the starter before but would like to know how to make the original starter.

    THE AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE initial STARTER RECIPE

    Day One through day 14

    1 cup cubed pineapple (drained)

    1 cup sugar

    2 tablespoons brandy

    Combine in a glass gallon jar. Let set it set for two weeks. Cover loosely with aluminum foil with a wooden spoon inserted through the foil to stir daily-DO NOT REMOVE FOIL OR SPOON!

    Be sure to stir daily.

    Day 15

    Add 1 cup marachino cherries including the juice

    1 cup sugar

    2 tablespoons brandy.

    Let set two more weeks, stirring daily.

    On day 30

    Strain the fruit from the juice using a plastic strainer. (DO NOT USE A METAL STRAINER.) The resulting "juice" is the "starter" for your Amish Friendship Cake.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE secondary STARTER

    First we prepare another starter from the starter above.

    1-1/2 cups starter (prepared above)

    1 large can sliced peaches (with juice)

    2-1/2 cups sugar

    Put peaches & juice in a gallon jar. Stir once a day for 10 days:

    On the 10th day, add

    2- 1/2 cups sugar

    1 large can pineapple chunks & juice (Victoria uses a 1 lb - 4oz can).

    Stir for ten days

    on the 20th Day, add

    2 -1/2 cups sugar

    1 - 10 ounce jar Marachino cherries & juice

    1 large can fruit cocktail & juice. (Victoria uses a 14-1/2 oz to 15 oz can)

    Stir daily for ten days

    on the 30th Day

    Drain liquid from fruit. Divide the juice into 5-6 jars each containing 1-1/2 cups of juice. Give to friends and keep one for yourself. You friends can now start with the starter you have given them and make the 30-day cake directly.

    Divide fruit in thirds. You can freeze 2/3 of the fruit to use later.

    Note: When putting fruit or juice in jars, leave jars on the counter & DO NOT REFRIGERATE!! DO NOT PUT LID ON TIGHT, set it on top of jar - loosely! DO NOT PUT JUICE IN THE REFRIGERATOR!
