You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a diet plan which includes mandarin orange cake but it is feasible. It is pivotal to not eat mandarin orange cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been using this method for the last few weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have only been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

On my one free day per week, I prefer to eat amish food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating amish meals but am very pleased to see it can work. If you would like to try some amish food, I propose you make mandarin orange cake which is one of my most adored amish recipes.

Mandarin Orange Cake

2 eggs
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, well drained
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat eggs; add oranges and dry ingredients. Beat 4 minutes with electric mixer on slow speed until oranges flake through the batter. Pour into greased 13 x 9-inch cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Cake will get quite dark.

Before removing from oven, press top with fingertip to see if it bounces back. If it doesn’t, bake a bit longer, taking care it doesn’t burn. Remove cake from oven. Pour topping over. Return cake to oven and bake 5 minutes longer.

Topping
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Combine and bring to a rolling boil.

You can vary the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It was successful for me and could aid you to lose weight also.
