    • 1 cup maple syrup
    • ¾ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
    • ¼ cup cold water
    • 2 tablespoon dark rum
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup natural cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

    • 6 ounces dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Instructions
    Chocolate Rum Cake
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
    2. Put the tofu, maple syrup, espresso, water, rum, and vanilla in your blender and puree until smooth.
    3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon until well combined.
    4. Scrape all of the tofu mixture into the flour blend and mix until combined.
    5. Divide the batter between your prepared cake pans.
    6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cakes are springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
    7. Place the pans on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the cakes out onto the wire rack to cool completely.
    8. /4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    Maple Rum Syrup
    1. Put the maple syrup, espresso or coffee, and dark rum in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes.
    2. Use a pastry brush to spread the warm syrup over top of cakes.
    Chocolate Rum Frosting
    1. Put the tofu, melted chocolate, rum, and vanilla in your blender or food processor and puree until smooth. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides.
    2. Place a cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the top and sides with half of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Spread the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
