Oprahs Chocolate Tofu Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 10-inch glass pie plate with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tofu, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, maple syrup, cocoa powder, egg whites, cinnamon, and the liqueurs.
• Puree until smooth and pour into the prepared pie plate.
• Place the pie plate on the center rack of the oven.
• On the bottom rack, place a baking pan filled halfway with water.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• While the cake is baking, combine all the topping ingredients in a small bowl and whisk thoroughly.
• When the cake has cooked for an hour, remove it from the oven, spread the topping on evenly, decorate if you wish, and return it to the oven.
• Bake for about 10 minutes more until the topping sets.
• Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch springform pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, ground almonds and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar. Knead in the butter to form a dough. Press the dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Using a blender, combine the tofu, remaining sugar, oil, orange juice, chocolate liqueur, cocoa, and almond extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Spread the batter in an even layer over the prepared crust.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. This cake must be thoroughly cold to set properly, otherwise it will be runny like a pudding.
