COCONUT TOFU SNACK CAKE (VEGAN



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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup tofu (use Mori-nu silken tofu firm style-I blended it before mixing it with the wet ingredients)
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon lemon extract (or 1/4 tsp. lemon essential oil)
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
2 cups flour (I used white spelt)
3 tablespoons arrowroot
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325'F.
  • Oil and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • Take a cup of the silken tofu and blend it until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, blend the smooth tofu, coconut milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and lemon extract (and the coconut if using) until completely smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Fold the wet into the dry using a spoon (I used a spatula) and mix until just combined. Then using a hand mixer on low mix for 15-20 seconds, just to remove the lumps -- do not over mix!
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes until a skewer comes out clean in the center.
  • Let cool in the pan about 10 minutes before removing. Then cool completely on a wire rack before slicing -- it will fall apart if you don't.
  • Bon Appetit!
