Gingerbread Cake

This cake is kinda like quick bread — spongy and nice — and
comes under the “treat” category. It has sugar and buttermilk
and egg whites in it, but I allow myself to have it occasionally.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (don’t substitute more white flour –
the cake’ll be gooey)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup non-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup molasses
2 egg whites
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 8x2x2 baking pan with
nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flours, brown
sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and baking soda. In a
small bowl, combine buttermilk, applesauce, molasses and egg
whites; add to flour mixture. Beat until combined. Pour into
baking pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, cut
cake into nine squares and dust with powdered sugar.

Title: PERFECT CHINESE STEAMED RICE
Categories: Oriental
Yield: 4 servings

2 c Uncooked long-grain rice
3 1/2 c Water

PUT THE RICE INTO A LARGE BOWL and wash it in several
changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain the
rice and put in a heavy pot with the water and bring
to a boil. Continue boiling until most of the surface
liquid has evaporated. This should take about 15 to 20
minutes. The surface of the rice should have small
indentations like a pitted crater. At this point,
cover the pot with a very tight-fitting lid, turn the
heat as low as possible and let the rice cook
undisturbed for 15 to 20 minutes. There is no need to
fluff the rice before serving it.
