So I fell for a bad recipe again. Oof. I am a big fan of tofu and eat it in desserts often, but the taste and texture of this is very unpleasant.
This recipe promises an easy box mix cake with only 300g of soft tofu, cake mix , 1/4 cup of water and nothing else. It has been published on numerous sites, and once again believed those same 372 people claiming it's great. Are that many people born missing taste buds, or did they happen to have the same sized tofu and cake mix as the author? We'll never know.
I used a basic "perfectly moist" Duncan Hines box. The recipe just said to use moist cake mix, without mentioning a size.
Also, it was a challenge to get 300g of soft tofu without a scale. Nowhere in my area is tofu sold in that size, so I had to do my best to remove the extra 50g of tofu that comes in the block.
With the 1/4 cup of water the recipe calls for, the batter was too thick. I had to add a full cup of water just to be able to use the mixer, and even then it was super thick, like drop cookies.
I've now baked this for 1.5x as long as the box calls for and it has a raw/tofu taste to it. It did not brown up like normal cakes do.
Do.Not.Make.This.
