Equipment

  • 1 Blender
  • 2 bowls
  • 1 cake pan

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 300 grams soft tofu
  • 1/2 cup soybean oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup raspberries optional
  • 1/8th cup powdered sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°C (160°F). Line or lightly oil your baking pan of choice (an 8-inch round or square pan works well).
  • Sift the cocoa powder into a small bowl. Mix it with the hot water until smooth and glossy.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the soft tofu, soybean oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt and cocoa mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking soda.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Stir in the dark chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar for a simple elegant finish.
