i've never used tofu it wouldn't have the fat content needed would it ?(one of the reasons I use oilive oil)


I don' know how fat content would affect a cake, but I just found that it works as an egg substitute for what an egg does in baking. If you use Tofu, use the really soft stuff. If you use medium, firm or extra firm, you'll end up with unblended chunks of tofu in the cake. And it's 1/4 cup of tofu for each average sized egg(whatever that means for egg size)


I've also read that chia seeds do the job of the egg as well though banana works well to used them in berry muffins and good god it was so moist .

Chia is great. Here is a cake by my parents:

Fruit Basket Cake (basket was made out of woven short crust pastry and zigzagged milk and white chocolate. All "fruit" was edible; the apple was specially bought-had white chocolate on outside and different types of icecream and filling inside, other fruits were made from homemade sorbet in the relevant flavours, coated in coconut, grapes were a normal bunch of grapes, coated in purple sugar and frozen).

Do you use pan forte in your cakes? For years I go to my local deli and say I'm going try some one day recently I did and omg it was amazing so typically Italian they can turn a few humble ingredients in to something totally amazing, great thing for me it's another vegan by default product and some what healthy it's mostly nuts and dried fruit !

If you do not have another career already, why don't you sell your cakes? Seriously. Especially wedding cakes.
