Rich Holiday Pound Cake
2 1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Butter, soft
8 oz Cream cheese, soft
2 1/2 cup Sugar
5 each Eggs, separated
2 tsp Vanilla extract


Baking pan: one 10 1/2-inch tube pan, three inches deep
OR two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pans

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and flour the baking pan or pans.
Stir or whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
Cream the butter and the cream cheese until light and smooth.
Gradually add two cups of the sugar, blending well after each
addition. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat well. Add the dry
ingredients slowly, blending well after each addition. With clean,
dry beaters, beat the egg whites until frothy; add the remaining 1/2
cup of sugar. Continue beating until the egg whites hold firm,
flossy, moist peaks. Fold a third of the egg whites into the batter
to lighten it; fold the rest of the egg whites into the lightened
batter. (The lightened batter is still quite thick, so folding in the
rest of the egg whites takes some energy.) Pour the batter into the
prepared tube pan or divide it equally between the two prepared loaf
pans. Bake either tube or loaves for 55-60 minutes, or until a cake
tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. The top of
the cake will be golden and the cake will be pulling away from the
sides of the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for
five minutes and then turn out to finish cooling right side up on the
rack. Serve warm or cold.

Serves: 2

Diet tips

If you really want to become slim and boost your general shape, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to decide on a meticulously planned healthy-minded meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to take in five helpings of fruit & vegetables a day and also take in the right combination of carbohydrate, fats, and proteins.

In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also try to cut back on your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

When chosing foods for dieting, people ordinarily look at supermarket and big brand food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is frequently an error, for a food item can be lowered in fats, but still much too high in calories and carbohydrates.

Keep yourself hydrated. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic afternoon, you fancy that you need a snack but really you only need a pure drink of water or orange squash. The sensations of being thirsty and hungry are quite similar, albeit one of them results in a fat tummy and the other one is fine.

As an alternative to concentrating on the many junk foods that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, direct your attention to the "good" foods which you might want to add to your meal plan. If one can insert the recommended portions nutritious fruit & veg into your diet, you will discover that you feel more full and have a substantially lower likelihood of giving in to those unwholesome mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
