Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325'F.
- Oil and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
- Take a cup of the silken tofu and blend it until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, blend the smooth tofu, coconut milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and lemon extract (and the coconut if using) until completely smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. Fold the wet into the dry using a spoon (I used a spatula) and mix until just combined. Then using a hand mixer on low mix for 15-20 seconds, just to remove the lumps -- do not over mix!
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes until a skewer comes out clean in the center.
- Let cool in the pan about 10 minutes before removing. Then cool completely on a wire rack before slicing -- it will fall apart if you don't.
- Bon Appetit!

- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix until just combined.
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and finely shredded coconut.
- To achieve a golden-brown crust, brush the top of the cake with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar before baking.
- Keep an eye on the cake while baking; it may require a few extra minutes or less, depending on your oven.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from soaking into the cake.
