Sour Cream Fruitcake
Sour Cream Fruitcake
1 cup dried pineapple, diced
1 cup dried cherries, (sour or sweet)
1 cup dried apricots, diced, or slivered
dried apricots
2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup brandy or rum, for soaking the
fruit
1 cup vegetable shortening
2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
4 large eggs
1/4 cup brandy or rum, to add to the cake
batter
3 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose
2 tsp baking powder
2 cup sour cream
2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together the dried fruits and the 1/2
cup brandy or rum. Set the fruit aside for 2 hours or longer. Stir
occasionally, so the fruit absorbs the liquor evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the shortening, sugar, salt and
nutmeg. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until fluffy after each
addition. Beat in the brandy or rum.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add half
the
flour to the shortening mixture, and beat well. Add the sour cream,
beating
all the time, then the remaining flour. Beat well. Be sure to scrape the
sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally to be sure all ingredients are
evenly incorporated. Stir in the fruits (they should have absorbed all the
liquid; if not, dont drain them) and the nuts.
Spoon the batter into three well-greased and floured 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch
pans. Bake the cakes in a preheated 325F oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or
until theyre golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes
out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in their pans
for 10 minutes. Remove them from the pans and cool completely on wire
racks.
If youre making them well ahead of serving, brush them with brandy or rum
before wrapping tightly and storing at room temperature. If desired,
sprinkle with glazing sugar or frost with a light glaze before serving.
Serve in thin slices. Yield: three 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch fruitcakes
Note: If using a 10-cup (10-inch) bundt-style pan, or several smaller
pans,
adjust the baking time accordingly. No matter what pan(s) you use, dont
fill them more than three-quarters full, or youll be cleaning blackened
cake batter off the floor of your oven.

Losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but want to become slim and also better your general healthfulness, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to commence a meticulously configured healthy-minded meal plan. Ideally, this must contain 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and incorporate the correct blend of crucial nutrients.
When devising a daily routine, the most important step is to attempt to cut back on your intake of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.
When buying food, dieters usually concentrate on chain store and big brand foods labelled 'low fat'. This is ordinarily wrong, in that a food product may be lowered in fat content, but nevertheless contain excess calories and carbs.
Drink plenty of water. Now and then at some stage in a normal morning, you consider you feel hunger when in reality you may simply need a cool glass of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two results in weight gain and the other leads to no damage.
Instead of dwelling on those junk foods that you need to ban from your diet, look at the sensible foods that you should bring into your meal plan. If you manage to insert the recommended portions nutritious fruit & veg into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a far decreased likelihood of being seduced by those unwholesome mid-afternoon biscuits.
