Lemon-Yogurt Coffee Cake
1/2 lb (plus 1 Tbl) softened butter
2 cup (plus 1 Tbl) all-purpose
-butter
4 Eggs
2 small Lemons
1 1/2 cup Sugar
1 cup Plain yogurt (8 oz)
2 tsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
LEMON-YOGURT GLAZE:
1 cup Confectioners' sugar
1 small Lemon
1/4 cup Plain yogurt (2 oz)


CAKE:

PREPARATION: For The Cake, coat a 3-quart bundt or tube pan with 1
tablespoon of the butter and dust pan with 1 tablespoon of the flour.
Separate the eggs and set aside. Grate 2 teaspoons lemon zest and
squeeze 1/3 cup lemon juice. Beat remaining butter and the sugar in
a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one
at a time. Beat in lemon zest, lemon juice and yogurt. Sift remaining
flour with baking powder, bakinG soda and salt. Turn mixer to low
and beat in dry ingredients until just incorporated. Turn mixer to
medium, beat for 2 minutes. With clean beaters, whip whites to firm
peaks and fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

COOKING: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to
350F. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake
comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 10
minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Can wrap
and store at room temperature overnight, or freeze for up to 1 month.)

ASSEMBLY: For The Glaze, sift confectioners' sugar into a medium
bowl or large measuring cup. Squeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and
stir in yogurt until galze is smooth. With cake on a wire rack set
over a pan to catch drippings, pour glaze over the cake, allowing it
to drip down the sides. Let cake stand at room temperature until
glaze sets, about 10 minutes. (Can cover and store at room
temperature for up to 2 days.)

Makes 12 servings.

Losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but want to regain your youthful figure and make improvements in your all round well-being, without doubt you ought to commence a meticulously prepared sensible diet. Ideally, this should involve 5 measures of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and also take in an appropriate fusion of carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.

In planning a dietary regime, the most important step is to also try to moderate your intake of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

People starting a weight loss program usually look at department store and big brand food products claiming to be 'low-fat'. To do this is frequently an error, in that a food may be moderate in fats, but still contain far too many carbohydrates.

Make sure that you drink enough fluids. At times at some stage in a busy day, you think you want food but if truth be told you may just need a cool glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are quite similar, but one ends in bad health and the other doesn't.

Rather than focusing on the many types of food you really should leave out of your dietary regime, direct your attention to the good foods which you can introduce to your weight loss program. If you are able to introduce the recommended portions nourishing fruit/vegetables into your daily routine, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a much lower likelihood of falling prey to those detrimental mid-morning snacks.
