eccles cake
August 30th, 2009
You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes eccles cake but it is obtainable. It is crucial to not eat eccles cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.
For instance, I allow myself rich food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 2000 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat anything - within reason of course.
I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.
I also find it makes things easier if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Eccles Cakes
Frozen flaky pastry
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup currants
2 tablespoons mixed candied peel, chopped
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of allspice
1 beaten egg white
Sugar to sprinkle
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Stir sugar into melted butter. Add currants, peel, nutmeg and allspice.
Roll out pastry very thinly and cut 6-inch rounds, using a saucer. Heap filling in the middle of each round. (Makes about 8 to 10 cakes - divide the filling between them.) Dampen the edges, draw up the pastry over the filling, pinch together, turn over and flatten with rolling pin until a few currants just show through. Make 3 small cuts on top of each cake. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
