Ingredients
- 1 package yellow cake mix, vegan
- 1/2 cup tofu, such as house foods tofu, soft (replaces one egg)
- 16 tablespoon vegan butter, melted
- 8 ounce vegan cream cheese
- 1 cup tofu, such as house foods tofu, soft (replaces two eggs)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounce powdered sugar (around two cups)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Combine the cake mix, ½ cup soft tofu and 8 Tablspoon of melted vegan butter (1 stick). Blend using a hand mixer. When mixture is moistened, dry and crumbly pour it into a lightly greased baking pan. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to pat down the mixture a bit.Add the remaining melted vegan butter (1 stick), vegan cream cheese, 1 cup soft tofu, 1 tsp vanilla and 16oz powdered sugar to the large mixing bowl. (You do not need to rinse out the bowl.) Using the same mixer, beat until smooth.Pour this mixture over top the dry mixture into a 9 x 9 baking dish.Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges very lightly brown. Try not to over bake the cake if you want it nice and ‘gooey.’When cake is ready, allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving. Chilling in the fridge for a few hours or overnight is even better. To serve: dust with powdered sugar.
