4 Egg yolks
Juice and grated peel of one
-lemon
1 d Salt
2 tbsp Rum
3 1/2 oz Flaked coconut (100 g)
3 1/2 oz Candied fruit (100 g)
-[candied cherries, per the
Illustration. Do not use
-fruitcake mix, as
The flavor would be
-different. K.B.]
3/4 cup Plus 2 Tbsp flour (100 g)
1 tsp Baking powder
4 Egg whites, chilled
Shortening for greasing cake
-mold
7 oz Dark cake glaze (200 g)
-[This is a prepackaged


chocolate glaze available in Germany. The glaze from the 'Rehruecken'
recipe should work just fine, or any glaze recipe that produces a
hard (not creamy) chocolate frosting. K.B.] flaked coconut for garnish

Wash and dry zucchini, and trim off ends. Finely grate the unpeeled
vegetables. Spread on a clean dish towel and pat dry. Beat sugar and
yolks until creamy and sugar is dissolved. Add lemon juice, lemon
peel, salt, rum, flaked coconut, and mix well. Cut the candied
cherries in half, or chop into smaller pieces, as desired. Add to
mixture. Mix flour and baking powder and add it as well as the grated
zucchini. Beat the chilled egg whites to stiff peaks and carefully
fold into the batter. Pour into well greased 'Rehruecken' mold [I
would also flour it, I think. K.B.]. In a preheated oven, bake at 350
to 390 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes.

Let cake cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully invert into a
grate and let cool all the way. Half a day before serving, cover with
cake glaze all around. Let glaze dry. Shortly before serving, dust
with flaked coconut.

Diet hints and tips

If you want to lose weight and also increase your general condition, among other things you should commence a carefully planned balanced meal plan. In theory, this must contain five portions of fruit & vegetables every day and involve the right mixture of fat, carbs and proteins.

When devising a weight loss program, it is essential to try to cut down your ingestion of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When starting a weight loss program, dieters ordinarily focus on department store and big brand products described as 'low fat'. To do this is far too often a mistake, given that a food could be very low in fats, but whilst still being contain excess carbs.

Keep yourself hydrated. Now and then during a busy work day, you imagine that you want a snack when in reality you just need a cool cup of water or orange squash. The sensations of hunger and thirst are nearly the same, but one of them can lead to a broken diet and the other one is fine.

As an alternative to thinking about the types of food that you need to ban from your weight loss program, look at the nutritionally sound foods which you should introduce to your weight loss program. If you are able to bring in some healthy pulses and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a much reduced likelihood of being tempted by those detrimental mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
