Gwyneth’s Vegetarian Coconut Cake
This cake recipe was converted from my cousin’s from Liverpool !
8 ounce of silken tofu
1 pound plus 5 ounces of sugar [Organic]
2 cups of coconut milk [Canned will work]
12 ounces of flaked coconut
1 cup of canola oil
1 pound plus 4 ounces of organic all-purpose flower.
1-½ teaspoon of baking powder
1- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
½ cup of white currents [White raisins plumped in hot water drained and cooled]
1cup of chopped Walnuts soaked in Brandy.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Put the first 5 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and puree until thick and uniform in texture. Add the next 3 ingredients and process until incorporated. Next stir in by hand the currents and one ½ cup of Walnuts. Pour into 2 9-inch baking tins, the bottoms lined with parchment paper that have been coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour or until a tooth pick comes out clean. Cool on bakers racks.
Glaze [Frosting]
1 pound of soy butter. [You can use organic butter if you can’t find soy]
1 pound of confectionary sugar.
1/4 Cup of coconut milk
Blend in the food processor till smooth.
Glaze cooled cakes and assemble, sprinkle the other half of the Walnuts on top.
*This was a little bland to me so I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of orange zest. Then I added some flaked coconut to give it some texture.
