To make cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour
13-by-9-by-2-inch pan.

Sift cake flour with granulated sugar, baking powder and salt 3 times.
Place in large bowl. Add shortening, 1/2 cup of the milk, almond
extract, lemon extract and vanilla. Beat at medium speed of electric
mixer 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk and eggs. Beat 2 minutes.
Pour into pan.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Place upside- down on
cooling rack. Cool completely. Split cake in half through the middle
to make two thin layers.

To make filling: Combine powdered sugar, shortening, evaporated milk,
butter flavoring, almond extract, lemon extract and vanilla in medium
bowl. Beat at high speed 5 minutes. Add marshmallow creme. Beat until
well-blended.

To make topping: Combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, water,
egg yolks and lemon juice in small saucepan. Cook and stir on medium
heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened and clear. Remove
from heat. Add lemon zest, shortening, lemon extract and vinegar.
Blend well. Refrigerate until chilled.

To assemble: Reserve 1/2 cup filling. Spread remaining filling on
bottom cake layer. Cover with top cake layer. Spread reserved 1/2 cup
filling very thinly over top and sides of cake. Spread topping over
filling. Sprinkle with coconut, pressing coconut lightly against
sides. Refrigerate 30 minutes or longer.

Decorate with candy lemon drops, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.

Dieting made easy

If you enjoy your food, but need to get in shape and also improve your overall condition, then, without doubt, you should follow a carefully prepared wholesome meal plan. In theory, this must incorporate five measures of fruit/vegetables on a daily basis and also include the right mix of fat, carbs and proteins.

In deciding on a daily routine, you have to also try to cut down your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.

At the start of a diet, people frequently focus on chain store and brand name foods referred to as 'low fat'. This is often a miscalculation, seeing that a food could be lowered in fats, but whilst still being high in calories.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Sometimes when going through a normal day, you think that you are hungry but in fact you may need a cool drink of water or juice. The sensations of hunger and thirst are nearly the same, albeit one of them leads to weight gain and one doesn't.

Rather than thinking about the many unhealthy foods you really should eliminate from your daily routine, direct your attention to the recommended foods that you might want to introduce to your meal plan. If you are able to introduce the recommended amount healthy fruit/vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that you feel more satisfied and have a far decreased likelihood of giving in to those detrimental mid-morning munchies.
