3/4 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Packed golden brown sugar
1/2 cup Orange marmalade
1/2 cup Orange juice
3 cup (lightly packed) grated
Peeled carrots
3/4 cup Chopped toasted walnuts

FROSTING

4 8-oz packages cream cheese,
Room temperature
2 cup Powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup (about) orange marmalade
6 tbsp (3/4 stick) unsalted butter,
Room temperature
2 tsp Grated orange peel
1 1/4 cup Finely chopped toasted
Walnuts (about 6 oz)


FOR CAKE: Preheat oven to 350-degree F. Butter and flour two

ingredients into medium bols. Beat eggs, oil, sugars, marmalade and
juice in large bowl until blended. Stir in dry ingredients. Fold in
carrots and nuts. Divide batter between cake pans. Bake until tester
inserted into centers comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer
cakes to racks; cool 15 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks; cool
completely.

FOR FROSTING: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar in
large bowl until smooth. Add 3/4 cup marmalade, butter and orange
peel and beat just until smooth. If necessary, cover and chill until
firm enough to spread.

Place 1 cake on plate. Spread with 1/4 cup marmalade. Spread 1 cup
frosting over. Top with second cake. Spoon 2 cups frosting into
pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Spread remaining frosting
smoothly over top and sides of cake.

Pipe frosting in 4 parallel lines atop cake in opposite direction,
forming lattice. Press 1 cup nuts onto sides of cake. Pipe ring of
frosting around top edge of cake. Stir 1/4 cup marmalade to loosen;
spoon some into 1 row of lattice diamonds. Spoon some remaining nuts
into next row of diamonds. Repeat, alternating marmalade and nuts,
filling rows completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover with cake
dome and chill.)

Diet tips

If you really want to become slim and boost your general shape, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to decide on a meticulously planned healthy-minded meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to take in five helpings of fruit & vegetables a day and also take in the right combination of carbohydrate, fats, and proteins.

In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also try to cut back on your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

When chosing foods for dieting, people ordinarily look at supermarket and big brand food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is frequently an error, for a food item can be lowered in fats, but still much too high in calories and carbohydrates.

Keep yourself hydrated. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic afternoon, you fancy that you need a snack but really you only need a pure drink of water or orange squash. The sensations of being thirsty and hungry are quite similar, albeit one of them results in a fat tummy and the other one is fine.

As an alternative to concentrating on the many junk foods that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, direct your attention to the "good" foods which you might want to add to your meal plan. If one can insert the recommended portions nutritious fruit & veg into your diet, you will discover that you feel more full and have a substantially lower likelihood of giving in to those unwholesome mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
