Coconut Tofu Snack Cake (Vegan image

I sometimes buy dessert style tofu for the odd thing, but aside from smoothies I don't do much with it. I recently ran across a recipe using this tofu to make a dessert style cake - http://www.sunrise-soya.com/cms/recipe/desserts/easy-coconut-tofu-cake. I found that recipe OK, but not really what I was looking for. This recipe stems from that idea, but the end result is similar to a carrot cake, you could choose to ice it or not. A perfect accompaniment to afternoon coffee or tea, (hmmmm..breakfast?). :) I used mostly whole wheat, you can adjust as you wish - obviously the more whole grain you use the denser the cake is. You may also decide to up the sugar by about 1/4 cup all depending on just how sweet your sweet tooth is!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 1/2 cups flour (I use at least 1/2 whole wheat)
1/4 cup arrowroot (aka arrowroot powder or starch)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
300 g coconut dessert tofu (I get them in a package that is 2 x 150g)
3/4 cup organic sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla soymilk (or other vegan milk)
1 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a square baking pan (8x8 ish).
  • Melt the coconut oil so that it is completely liquid. I do this using the microwave on about half of it, and then mixing in other half which melts in and reduces the overall temperature. Set aside to cool (but not reharden).
  • In a bowl combine the dry ingredients - flour, arrowroot, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
  • Empty the tofu into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk, mix it with the sugar, and soy milk, followed by the oil which should be cooled down enough by now.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet, combine well but don't overmix. Fold in the shredded coconut.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle about a tsp of sugar overtop. Bake for about 35 minutes - do the toothpick test to be sure.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond milk and almond extract. The cake turned out great! It was a delicious and healthy snack.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the glaze was too sweet.

The cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try using a different type of tofu next time.
