DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, poppy seeds, Jello & pudding mix. Make a well in the center of the bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together the Amish starter, eggs, milk, applesauce, vanilla, and vegetable oil. Add to dry ingredients and blend until just combined. Pour batter into 2 greased loaf pans or 1 Bundt cake pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 mins - 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove cake from pan.

I glaze with a lemon glaze (here are the rough estimates, I stir until it is a glaze consistency and tastes not too sour)

2 tbsp or more lemon juice
