PS: This makes a big cake which will keep much longer than I've ever
seen one last. It's also almost impossible to overbake. A couple
years ago I was making one as an Xmas gift for friends. I went to
bed, forgetting to remove the cake from the oven, and it baked all
night long. When I finally got it out of the oven (over 7 hours after
it went in) the cake was perfectly OK except for a suface layer about
«" deep that was a bit dry. I made another cake for the gift, but my
family gobbled the "mistake" in short order.

Diet tips
If you really want to get thinner and also make improvements in your general healthfulness, then, as any dietician will tell you, you need to undertake a thoughtfully prepared wholesome weight loss system. In theory, this should involve five portions of fruit/vegetables daily and contain an appropriate blend of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently fix on food store and well known food items professing to be 'low-fat'. To do this is often wrong, seeing that an item could be moderate in fats, but nevertheless contain far too much calories.
When planning a diet, it is important to also try to cut down your intake of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.
