Ingredients: 1/2 cup amish starter; 1 egg; 1/4 cup oil; 1/4 cup applesauce (I use natural unsweetened); 1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup cream; 1/4 teaspoon vanilla; 3 tablespoons molasses; 1 cup flour; 3/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ginger; 1/4 teaspoon clove; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; 1 (4 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix; 1/4 - 1/2 cup candied orange peel (optional); 1/4 cup fairly thin cream cheese frosting

Servings: persons

1/2 cup amish starter
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce (I use natural unsweetened)
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons molasses
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (4 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/4 - 1/2 cup candied orange peel (optional)
1/4 cup fairly thin cream cheese frosting

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!
