Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

2 cup wholewheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup low-fat margarine
1 cup mixed dark and light raisins
1/2 cup almonds, chopped
1/2 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1 rind of 1 orange fine grated
1 3/4 cup grated carrots
1/2 tsp mixed baking spices (allsp?)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sweetener
2 eggs, beaten
3 tbsp orange juice
2 tbsp brandy or rum (optional)

Recipe Preparation

Heat oven to 350F. Mix flour, baking powder and salt together and
rub in the margarine until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add fruit, nuts, orange rind, carrots and spices and mix well.

Mix the sweetener into the eggs and beat into the dry ingredients. Add
enough orange juice to make a soft dough.

Put the mixture into 8" round or 7x7" nonstick cakepan and bake for
45-60 min. (or use larger pan and reduce cooking time) When ready,
the cake should be firm to the touch and a toothpick should come out
clean. Cool in the cake pan.

Turn out upside down, make a few toothpick holes in the bottom and
spoon in any leftover orange juice and alcohol if using. Store in an
airtight container.

Suggested icing is made with apples and cottage cheese.

Food Tips of the Week

Dieting tips

If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Use soy flour or bake mix. When you require flour for baking, repalce it with soya flour or a bake mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. In many cases, you can change your best loved recipes that use wheat flour to use these alternatives.



Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, cabbage, scarlet runner bean and basil)

The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Doctors researching the properties of flavonoids believe they also have most other health benefits, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet system.
