Plant-Based Sheet Cake & Magnificent Tofu Frosting (Vegan)

This is a transcription of a YouTube recipe from Jane Esselstyn. It is yummy and comes together quickly and easily if you need a cake for a crowd on a special occasion.

3 C. oat flour (I grind oats in my Vitamix)
1/3 C. cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 C. applesauce
1 1/3 C. pure maple syrup
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1 1/2 C. cold water
2 tsp vanilla

1) Line sheet pan with crinkled parchment paper.

2) Pour combined ingredients into lined sheet pan.

3) Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

4) Top with Magnificent Tofu Frosting and garnish with toasted pecans and fresh fruit, if desired.

Magnificent Tofu Frosting

1-2 silken extra firm tofu  (this is tricky to find!), drained by wrapping in towels overnight
cocoa powder (to taste)
maple syrup (to taste and desired consistency)
coconut sugar (to taste)

1) Whip silken tofu in the food processor until smooth. 

2) Add in other ingredients and blend just until well combined.

3) Dollop and spread onto individual slices of cake, garnishing with toasted pecans and a strawberry if desired.
