Italian Rum Cake
3 Egg yolks
1 cup Sugar
2 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
2 cup Milk
1/2 Lemon, Grated peel only
1 cup Butter, room temperature
4 Eggs
3/4 cup Sour cream
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1/4 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Dark rum


PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Beat the yolks and 1/4 cup sugar together in a
mixing bowl and slowly add 1/4 cup flour. Meanwhile, place the milk
in a small pot and bring to the brink of boiling. Slowly pour the
milk over the yolk mixture, then pour the whole thing back into the
pot. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the
mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and mix in the lemon peel.
Scrape into a plastic container, cover and place in the refrigerator
to chill. Running your mixer at high speed, cream butter and
remaining sugar together in a mixer fitted with a paddle. Add the
eggs 1 at a time, waiting until the previous 1 has been absorbed. Add
the sour cream and mix until incorporated. Add vanilla, nutmeg,
baking soda and salt. Decrease the speed to medium, add remaining
flour and mix an additional minute. Scrape the batter into a 1-quart
round or rectangular cake pan, leaving 1/2-inch space at the top.
Place on the middle rack of the oven for 50-to-60 minutes. The cake
is done when the surface cracks and a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and let cool for 15
minutes before unmolding onto rack. When the cake is completely cool,
slice it into 6 layers. Place the first layer on a cake platter and
sprinkle with some of the rum. Cover the layer with some of the
custard mixture. Place the second layer on top of the custard,
sprinkle with rum and cover with more custard. Continue until the
cake is assembled. Lightly spread the custard all over the surface of
the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Serves: 10

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy eating, but want to shed a few pounds and also better your overall health, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should decide on a carefully designed healthy-minded weight loss program. In theory, this should involve five measures of grains, cereals and vegetables each day and take in the correct mix of protein, carbs and fats.

In planning a diet, the most important step is to make sure you decrease your intake of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.

When selecting food, dieters ordinarily direct your attention to food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is often a mistake, since a food item could be low in fat content, but still contain excess calories and carbs.

Try drinking more water. Occasionally in the course of a busy afternoon, you assume you need food when if truth be told you may simply need a cooling cup of water or orange squash. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are quite alike, but one of them can lead to bad health and the other one is ok.

Instead of dwelling on the many junk foods you really should leave out of your diet, focus on the good foods that you might want to introduce to your daily routine. If you can inject the recommended portions wholesome grains, cereals and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel more satisfied and have a significantl;y decreased chance of being tempted by those unhealthy midday sweets and chocolate bars.
