The Promised Poundcake, and Pizza Friday

As promised, here are the pictures of that pound cake that made my kitchen smell so heavenly last night, and here is the recipe if you want to make it for yourself. I've had this recipe jotted in my ratty old notebook for nigh on twelve years, so I wouldn't be able to tell you where I got it. I CAN tell you that is dense and moist like pound cake should be, much lower fat that poundcake usually is, and you would never, ever be able to tell there was tofu in it. So there.

Tofu Pound Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together in this order:

1/2 cup softened margarine

1 1/2 cups white sugar

(Beat.)

Add:

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp lemon extract or vanilla. (Bob hates lemon, so I personally use vanilla.)
3/4 cups lowfat silken tofu

1/2 cup water

2 cups white flour

Bake in a lightly greased loaf pan for about 50 minutes.

FYI: You can buy silken tofu in the natural food section of most reasonably- sized grocery stores. It looks like this:

On to supper...Friday night is pizza night most weeks around here. I first made homemade garlic fingers, using dough from scratch and vegan parmesan....

Then we used a 2-pack of premade crusts to whip up two pizzas, one brimming with veggies for Bob, and one with veggie pepperoni and soy cheese for me and the kids. Here's a couple shots of Bob's pizza, before and after cooking.

Add a cold beer (or in the case of the kiddies, a cold Pepsi) and the weekend is on! Happy Friday, everyone!
