TOFU CHOCOLATE CAKE

Here is an interesting recipe that I received in an email today from the www.sparkrecipes.com website. "Submitted by MEHICKS - I know, chocolate cake and tofu, together?! It's sooo tasty, and a much healthier way to eat cake!"

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 16 slices of cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box Betty Crocker Super Moist chocolate cake mix
1 (300 g) package soft tofu, well drained
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • With a food processor or blender, mix cake mix and tofu together.
  • Once mixed, add 1/4 cup water and blend again until smooth.
  • Pour into baking dish and cook according to the directions on the cake mix box, depending what type of dish you use. Sometimes I make cupcakes, sometimes I make a cake and cut it into squares.
  • DO NOT add the oil/egg/whatever else the cake mix box says you need - the tofu takes the place of all of these!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 11.4, Fat 0.7, SaturatedFat 0.1, Sodium 1.6, Carbohydrate 0.3, Sugar 0.1, Protein 1.2

Tips:

  • Use silken tofu for a smooth and creamy texture. Extra-firm or firm tofu will result in a denser cake.
  • Press the tofu thoroughly to remove excess moisture. This will help the cake to rise properly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality chocolate will make a big difference in the taste of the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.

Conclusion:

This chocolate tofu cake is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this chocolate tofu cake a try!
