Yield: 16 servings

 

Ingredients:

 

8 oz Tofu

2 cz Granular sweetener (such as sucanat or

sugar twin)

3/4 cup Oil

1 cup Water

1 TBS Vanilla extract

2 cups All-purpose flour

3/4 cup Cocoa powder

2 tsp Ground cinnamon

1 tsp Baking soda

1 tsp Cream of tartar

1/4 cup Margarine or oil

1/4 cup Cocoa powder

3 TBS Water

1 tsp Instant espresso powder

1 1/2 cup Granular sweetener

1 tsp Vanilla extract

Ground cinnamon for garnish

 

 

For CAKE:

 

Preheat oven to 350 F.

 

Oil a 10- or 12-inch springform pan; dust

lightly with a bit of cocoa powder.

 

Using electric mixer, blend tofu with sweet-

ener on low speed until mixture is paste-like.

 

Increase speed and beat until tofu is thoroughly

blended and mixture is shiny and the consistency

of thick syrup. (Don't worry about undissolved

granules of sweetener which may remain; they will

dissolve later on when the liquids are added.)

 

Add oil, water and vanilla to tofu mixture, beating

until thoroughly combined.

 

Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream

of tartar, and cocoa powder.

 

Blend sifted dry ingredients into liquid mixture.

 

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until tester

inserted in center comes out clean, about 40-50

minutes.

 

Transfer to rack and cool completely.

 

~~~ GLAZE: In a small saucepan, combine all

ingredients.

 

Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is

shiny and completely smooth. Let mixture come

to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.

 

Let cool 10 minutes. Stir vigorously before using.

 

& & & & To assemble cake:

 

Remove sides from pan.

 

If necessary, slice off top of cake to make surface

even, then invert cake on rack set over a pan to

catch drips of excess glaze.

 

Remove pan bottom from cake.

 

Pour glaze evenly over top of cake, allowing some

to drip down sides also.

 

Use a knife or spatula to spread glaze around sides.

 

Transfer to serving platter.

 

Decorate by sprinkling additional ground cinnamon over

cake, using stencils to create shapes or a pattern if

desired.

 

+++++ Variation:

 

A mixture of chopped toasted nuts and ground cinnamon

may be pressed onto sides of freshly glazed cake in-

stead of sprinkling plain cinnamon over top.
