Vegan Vanilla Pound Cake with Lime-Cranberry Glaze
This pound cake is delicious! You can play with the flavor of the glaze too! Try mixing 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1 TBSP orange juice...it is citrus-y goodness. If you want to make this a great summer dessert, grill the slices of pound cake on the grill for 2-3 minutes and serve with your favorite frozen yogurt...or Tofutti ;) Enjoy!
Ingredients

5 oz Silken Tofu, Drained
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup applesauce, sweetened or unsweetened
1/3 cup vanilla soymilk
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Lime-Cranberry Glaze:
1/3 cup Powdered Sugar
1 TBSP lime juice
1 TBSP cranberry juice
To make Vanilla Pound Cake: Preheat oven to 350F. Coat loaf pan with cooking spray. Blend tofu, sugar, applesauce, soymilk and vanilla extract in food processor until smooth. If you don't have a food processor use a blender, if you don't have a blender, just use a masher or a whisk and get it as smooth as possible.
Whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda in large bowl. Fold in tofu mixture. Pour into loaf pan, and bake 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then unmold and cool on wire rack until just warm.
To make Lime-Cranberry Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, cranberry juice and lime juice in small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over top of cake. Cool cake completely before serving to allow glaze to set.
