For that special touch, drizzle this cake with a Dark Chocolate Espresso Glaze. Both recipes were created by Chef Claire Criscuolo (RN, CCP). She and her husband established Claire's Corner Copia, a vegetarian restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut. She has also produced a cookbook by the same name (now in its 11th print run).

Yield: 12 servings. Ingredients: - 2 1/4 cups organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons organic baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cups organic pure cane sugar
- 1 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup organic soybean or canola oil
- 1 cup soft silken organic tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 cups organic plain soymilk
- 1 teaspoon organic almond extract
- 1 cup sliced almonds
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Measure flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa into a bowl, then sift it into another bowl. Measure oil, tofu, soymilk and almond extract into a blender container. Cover and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds, until blended smooth. Pour blended ingredients over dry ingredients all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir ingredients to combine, then beat for about 10 seconds until smooth. Stir in sliced almonds. Spray a 12-cup bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Turn batter into prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to scrape bowl and to spread the batter smooth. Bake for about 50 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out just clean. Remove from oven and let stand for about 2 minutes, then turn out onto a cake dish. Allow to cool to room temperature. Drizzle with Dark Chocolate Espresso Glaze. Quote this article on your site
