Vanilla Pound Cake with Lime Glaze

Vanilla Pound Cake with Lime Glaze

Serves 6

Because of their fat content, smooth texture, and moisture content, silken and soft tofu are good choices as substitutes for eggs in baked goods.

  • 5 oz. silken tofu, drained
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup vanilla soymilk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour

  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
Lime Glaze
  • ⅓ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 Tbs. lime juice

This is a lovely cake that works well as a breakfast bite. I have made it twice now in a two-week time frame. (1 Silken Tofu package makes 2 cakes) Will certainly make it again. Try it. It is quite simple to put together.

I loved this. I used vanilla flavored tofu I found in the grocery store, it said it was a "starter" for non-dairy shakes and desserts, so I did cut back on the vanilla extract to 1 tsp.

This is really good and very easy to make. It doesn't last long in our house! Next time I am going to double the recipe and make two and see how freezing one of them works out.
