...brought to you by Recipes EU



Stained-Glass Cake (Fruit Cake)
1 cup Plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 lb Glace pineapple
2 oz Glace pear
2 oz Glace kiwi fruit
2 oz Glace apple
2 oz Glace apricot
4 oz Glace cherries
4 oz Sultanas
4 oz Currants
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Brown sugar
4 oz Halved blanched almonds
4 oz Halved pecan nuts
4 oz Halved macadamia ants
4 oz Halved Brazil nuts
1/4 cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau.


From the traditional to the (comparatively) new-fangled. Stained
glass or bishopcakes, very popular in the UK, are so called, one
presumes, because they consist almost entirely of glace fruit and
nuts, and the glace fruit has something of the translucency of a
stained-glass church window.

Butter a large cake tin. Line with waxed paper. Butter the paper.
Chop the glace fruits roughly. Sift together the flour and baking
powder.

Mix in all the fruits, together with the nuts. Put the mixture into
the cake tin, wet hands and press mixture down firmly.

Bake in a preheated 300F degree oven for 1 1/2 hours. Take cake out
of the oven and drizzle the Grand Marnier or Cointreau over the top.
Leave the cake in the oven to cool until warm, then wrap it, tin and
all, in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from tin, peel away paper and store in airtight tin.

Dieting tips

If you want to become thinner and also improve your general wellbeing, then you really should follow a thoughtfully designed wholesome meal plan.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. We all need plain water , it is crucial for our good health and is void of calories. Water also fills the dieters stomach and helps decrease feelings of emptiness. The recommended portions experts profess it is best to drink as high as 6 tumblers of water a day.

Rather than thinking about those types of food you ought to remove from your daily routine, concentrate on the healthy foods which you are able to bring into your weight loss program. If you inject some nourishing fruit & vegetables into your weight loss program, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a much lower chance of giving in to those unwholesome mid-morning munchies.
