Applesauce Cake with Whipped Tofu Topping

By Cathe Olson

This moist, spiced cake is easy to make and tastes great.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup oil

1/2 cup maple syrup, brown rice syrup, or agave nectar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

3/4 cup raisins

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

2 cups whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Oil a 10-inch round cake pan or 8- or 9-inch

square baking pan. Beat oil, maple syrup, and vanilla together until

smooth. Stir in applesauce, raisins, and walnuts. In separate bowl,

sift remaining ingredients together. Dough will be stiff. Spread into

prepared pan. Bake 30 minutes, or until cake pulls away from edges of

pan and knife inserted in center comes out dry. Cool on rack. Serve

cake plain or with whipped tofu topping. It's also delicious frosted.

Makes 12 servings

1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

1 tablespoon soy or other nondairy milk, if needed

Puree tofu, sweetener, oil, and vanilla or almond extract in blender

firm slightly as it chills.

Makes about 1 cup

Note: A few drops of liquid stevia extract can be substituted for

other sweeteners.
