Ingredients

• 150 gram silken tofu (about 1/2 block typically)
• 3 egg yolks
• 30 gram (4 tablespoon) cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon rum/brandy
• 150 gram (~ 1 cup) dark/bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoon milk
• 3 egg whites
• 100 gram (~ 1/2 cup) sugar

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, beat together silken tofu, egg yolks, cocoa powder, and rum/brandy. Set aside.
2. In a microwave proof bowl, place chocolate and milk. Heat in microwave until the chocolate melts. I only need 30 seconds with my microwave. Stir to combine the chocolate and milk. Add this to the silken tofu mixture and mix well.
3. In another mixing bowl (use stainless steel one for this), whisk egg whites until it starts to foam, then start adding sugar in 3 batches and keep whisking until stiff peak.
4. With a spatula, scoop 1/3 of egg whites into the chocolate tofu mixture. Fold until well mixed. Repeat two more times.
5. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan with some butter. Preheat oven to 170 Celcius (340 Fahrenheit).
6. Pour the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely, then remove the cake from the pan, cut into slices.
7. Serve as is, of dress up with some powdered sugar, whipped cream, or even some berries.
