Ingredients
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tbsp canola oil
1 cup evaporated skim milk
1 tsp lemon extract
2 tsp lemon peel
1 cup finely-diced plums
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
2 plums, seeds removed, and
cut into thin slices
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the flours and
baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil, milk, extract,
and lemon peel. Mix well. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the large
bowl and mix well. Fold in the plums.
Pour the batter into a loaf pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking
spray. Lay the plum slices on top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a
toothpick comes out clean. If necessary, cover the top loosely with foil
so the plum slices do not overbake. Remove cake from oven and let cool for
10 minutes in the pan. Remove cake from pan and let cool completely.

Superfoods containing lycopene (includes apricot, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple pigment and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. It is accountable for the deep red colour of quite a few fruits and vegetables. Intrestingly, unlike most other nutritional compounds, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is really improved by going through the cooking process. . Its most interesting value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the fight to lower the risks of contracting cancer. It is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It's also thought by many experts to impede the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Carotenoid foods (includes carrots, kale and winter squash) These healthy superfoods contain carotenes believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in preventing cancer, specifically those cancers involving the esophagus. The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program. |
