Vegan Tiramisu

Last Sunday we made this tiramisu which was light and delicious!

INGREDIENTS

For the sponge:
200g plain flour
250ml soya milk
140g sugar
1 sachet baking powder

For the cream:
500g firm silken tofu
 (like this one)
500ml very strong decaf coffee
300ml soya whipping cream (this)
100g sugar
cocoa powder
shavings of dark chocolate
a pinch of curcuma

DIRECTIONS
1. first off make the sponge. sift the flour in a large bowl, add the baking powder and sugar, then stir in the soya milk little by little and whisk the batter until it’s smooth
2. grease and flour a 22cm cake tin, pour in half of the batter (this means you don’t have to worry about cutting the sponge with a knife and messing it up) and bake for about 20 mins at 200C or until a toothpick comes out clean. repeat with the second half and set the cakes aside to cool down, then soak them in the coffee and make sure they are extremely wet. don’t soak them right after taking them out of the oven as they will fall apart!
3. liquidise the tofu with the sugar and curcuma
4. whip the cream for about 5 minutes, slowly add the tofu mixture to it and put in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up
5. now the fun part, assembling everything together! take the first layer of cake, spread cream on it, then sprinkle some of the cocoa powder and do the same with the second layer of cake, but add the shaved chocolate on top of it.

   This looks so inviting, I can’t wait to try it! I’ve never heard of curcuma…is it the same as turmeric?
