INGREDIENTS

Cake

8 oz / 220 g tofu
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup oil
1 cup water
1 T vanilla
2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 t baking soda

1/4 cup cocoa powder
3 t water

1 t vanilla
Ground cinnamon for garnish

METHOD

Cake

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Oil a cake pan (the recipe says 10 or 12 inch (25 or 30 cm) cake pan, but i used 13 x 9 inch (33 x 23 cm)), dust with cocoa powder. Blend tofu with sugar until paste-like. Increase speed until consistency of thick syrup. Add oil, water, and vanilla; beat until combined. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Blend dry ingredients into liquid mixture. Pour batter into pan and bake about 45 minutes. Cool.

Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat until shiny and smooth. Bring to boil, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and let cool for 10 minutes. Stir vigorously, then pour over cake. Dust with cinnamon.

Transcendent.

...oh, and one other thing i just found out after making this again (woo hoo! chocolate!). if you can resist it, do do do leave overnight, as it's much moister and tastier the day after baking. yummmmmm...

the end.
