Steps:
- With a food processor or blender, mix cake mix and tofu together.
- Once mixed, add 1/4 cup water and blend again until smooth.
- Pour into baking dish and cook according to the directions on the cake mix box, depending what type of dish you use. Sometimes I make cupcakes, sometimes I make a cake and cut it into squares.
- DO NOT add the oil/egg/whatever else the cake mix box says you need - the tofu takes the place of all of these!

TOFU CHOCOLATE CAKE
A creamy, rich chocolate cake that can be adapted for vegans by using margarine instead of butter. Do not use the silken tofu for this recipe, as it is too watery, and the cake will not set.

Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Decorate with the Chocolate Sauce Design. Chocolate Sauce Design: Put a mixture of 2 T. pure maple syrup and 2 T unsweetened cocoa powder into a squeeze bottle or an improvised pastry bag, which can be made by forcing the sauce into a bottom corner of a sturdy plastic storage bag and pricking a small hole through which it can flow. Squeeze a series of straight lines across the cake, then rake the tines of a fork across the top in the opposite direction to create a pattern.
Tips:
- Use silken tofu for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Drain the tofu well to remove excess moisture.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
