 FAT- AND SUGAR-FREE HEALTHY CAKE (by Berenice Goelzer)
 
      I have developed this cake, for a special diet, which is
      "dissociated", meaning that one cannot mix carbohydrates and
      fats.  Moreover, sugar is forbidden.  Complex carbohydrates are
      allowed (nothing refined).
 
 INGREDIENTS
 
 1 and 1/2 cup of buttermilk (may be 1 low - 0% - fat yogurt plus
           skimmed milk to complete 1 1/2 cup)
  
 1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats), whole (not refined)
 
 1 cup whole-wheat flour
 
 1/2 cup bran or oat bran
 
 1 teaspoon baking powder
 
 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
 3/4 to 1 cup chopped prunes (can mix with raisins, and even put more
           if you like sweeter)
 
 1 banana (very ripe) well mashed (or about 100 grs. - 3 oz. - of
           unsweetened apple sauce, or pureed prunes)
 
 Ground cinnamon to taste.
 
 N.B. Those who wish a sweeter cake may add about 1/8 cup honey
 
 
 HOW TO PREPARE (very easy !):
 
 1. Place the oatmeal and the buttermilk in a bowl (a bit in advance so
           the oats soften) - mix well
 
 2. Add dried fruit
 
 3. Add all the other ingredients and mix very well - the mashed
           banana (or apple sauce, or pureed prunes), last.
 
 Pour batter (it is quite solid, like for muffins) in a 9 inch, or
 23 cm., non-stick loaf pan; sprinkle with oat flakes and LET
 IT REST IN THE PAN FOR 20 MINUTES (BEFORE BAKING)
 
 Bake in preheated oven - 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Centigrade
 for 1 hour to 1 hr 10 min. (really depends on the oven - in mine it
           takes 1 hour 10 minutes)
 
           HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT !
