Thought you might be interested in these two recipes for a birthday
cake. Michael, one of my roommates, just had his big 5-0. He said he
wanted a mocha cake so I hauled out a couple of fifty year old
cookbooks and put together this cake. (Well, they were almost 50
years old++one was put out in '46, the other in '50.) The cake++the
first I'd ever made from scratch++turned out great. It was nice and
moist, if a tad on the heavy side. The recipe is actually for
cupcakes, but I just made one big layer. The frosting is outstanding,
a definite keeper.
Sift flour, cocoa, soda, baking powder and salt together 3 times.
Cream shortening with sugar until fluffy. Combine whole egg and egg
yolks, beat well and add to creamed mixture. Combine coffee and
buttermilk. Add sifted dry ingredients and liquids alternately in
small amounts, beating well after each addition. Pour into greased
cupcake pans and bake in moderate oven (350F) for 20 minutes.
Makes 18 medium or 12 large cupcakes.
Frost with Fluffy White Icing. Melt 1 ounce (square) chocolate with 1
teaspoon butter and put a band around each cake with teaspoon or
pastry brush.

MOCHA ICING:
Sift sugar. Cream butter. Add sugar. Beat until smooth. Add
remaining ingredients. Beat until well blended.

Magazine, Topeka, Kansas. Capper Publications, 1946.

Advice on losing weight
If you really want to lose weight and also increase your general health, then, without doubt, you should eat a meticulously designed sensible meal plan. In a perfect world, this should involve five measures of fruit & vegetables each day and require an appropriate combination of carbohydrate, fat, and proteins.
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is important to endeavour to cut down your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
When buying food, dieters far too often look at chain store and brand name food items claiming to be 'low fat'. To do this is frequently incorrect, as a food can be significantly reduced in fat, but still elavated in calories and carbs.
Keep yourself hydrated. Your body requires plain water , it is critical for our body's wellbeing and possesses zero calories. Water also fills a dieter's tummy and decreases sensations of hunger. The recommended amount nutritionalists allege that you should drink as a minimum six glasses of water a day.
Instead of dwelling on which junk foods you need to leave out of your dietary regime, look at the nutritionally sound foods which you should introduce to your meal plan. If you introduce the recommended amount beneficial fruit/vegetables into your weight loss program, you'll discover that you feel full and have a far reduced risk of being tempted by those unwholesome afternoon biscuits.
