Gingerbread Cake with Lemon Creme Topping
- 1 cup barley flour
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 12 ounces light firm silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 cup amber agave nectar
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/3 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- Lemon Tofu Creme (page 114)
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Lightly oil an 8-inch square baking pan with canola oil spray.
- Sift the barley flour, oat flour, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and baking powder together in a large bowl.
- In a food processor, blend the tofu, canola oil, agave nectar, molasses, and ginger until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the soy milk and blend well.
- Fold in the pecans and raisins if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool on a cooling rack, and serve warm with the lemon creme.
- This cake must be stored in the refrigerator as tofu can spoil at room temperature.
