Refreshing and simple tofu and yogurt cake will impress you with its incredible refreshing taste and texture.
If you love simple and quick dessert, you’ve come to the right place! This incredible cake tastes like cottage cheese pastry, as tofu and soy yogurt are the perfect substitute for cottage cheese. No worries, even if you are not a huge tofu fan, you are going to love this dessert, as you can’t even really taste tofu, but it creates a wonderful texture. Yogurt, lemon, vanilla and rum create an amazing combination of flavours that is simply impossible to resist. This delicious cake is perfect for the upcoming summer days, as it is pleasantly refreshing.
We also added raisins to the cake, as they add a nice touch, but you can also skip them or use some other dried fruit if you are not a fan of raisins, the same goes for rum, which you can easily omit from the recipe. The cake is vegan, made without refined sugar and very easy to prepare.
