I wanted to make a banana cake, but I was out of bananas! But I had tofu! I debated with myself for quite some time: Should I put it in, should I do it and see what happens? I ended up putting it in and it was delicious. I decided on the recipe for this soft, light cake on my 10th try.

My oven tends to be hot, so I cover the cake with foil for the last 5 minutes to keep it from burning. The silken tofu I use doesn't need to be drained, but some brands contain more water than others. If you're worried about it being too wet, drain it before using. Recipe by Satsuki519

Steps

1 hour

1

Preheat oven to 180-190℃. If your oven tends to be hot, set it at 180℃. Otherwise, set it at 190℃. It's about the same temperature as you would use to bake pound cakes.
2

Put the tofu in a bowl without draining it, mash it up and stir it with a whisk until smooth.
3

Add the ＊ ingredients in the order listed, mixing after each addition. Put the cake flour and baking powder in a plastic bag, hold it closed and shake it about ten times to mix it well, then add it in.
4

Cut the spout end of an empty milk carton, then cut 1/3 of the cut piece and attach it to the spout end as a kind of divider. See the photo here for reference.
5

Pour in the batter and make an indentation down the middle. Place the carton on an oven tray lined with parchment paper or foil.
6

Bake for approximately 30 minutes (adjust the temperature and baking time to your oven). When a chopstick inserted comes out clean, it's done!

Here, I used processed silken tofu and 65 g sugar, and covered it with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
