Method

Baking Instructions

Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

Blend the Tofu

In a blender or food processor, blend the silken tofu until smooth. Add in the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Blend until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the tofu mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour Batter

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
