Peach Melba Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
  2. Oil an 8-inch-square baking pan with canola oil spray.
  3. Sift together the barley flour, oat flour, and baking powder.
  4. In a food processor, blend the canola oil, agave nectar, soy milk, tofu, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Stir into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  6. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.
  8. To prepare the custard, mix the soy milk and agar flakes in a saucepan.
  9. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  10. Decrease the heat and simmer about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the agar flakes have dissolved, stirring occasionally.
  11. Place the peaches, arrowroot powder, vanilla extract, and agave nectar in a food processor and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  12. Add this to the agar mixture in the saucepan and mix together.
  13. Bring to a boil, then decrease the heat to low and simmer until thickened.
  14. While still hot, pour the mixture over the cooled cake.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  16. To prepare the topping, arrange the strawberry halves decoratively over the top of the cake.
