     AWESOME!!!!! FYI - Placed batter in cupcake papers before muffin pans (to avoid messy eating), and only took 20 minutes @ 350 for toothpick to pull out clean in centers; so, might want to check them much sooner than 30 minutes! - 4/5/11

     I just got done making this cake and it is delicious.....can not even tell that it has tofu in it!!!!! It is important though to use silken tofu, and not semi or extra firm tofu,Splenda or smaller pan than 9"x13" pan or cupcake pan, as I did the first time:( The cake was so dense) :(

     How big is a "block" of silken tofu. My package came in two 8oz blocks. The other chocolate cake recipe used 300 grams of tofu. - 4/27/13

     I used silken firm. I put it in the food processor and whipped it up. I then added the other wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients. My kids broke up the cupcake and topped with vanilla ice cream. I took a cupcake, split it in half and put a tablespoon of valilla ice cream on each half. Yum! - 7/1/12

     I halved the recipe and made cupcakes. It was super good. I added chocolate chips and they were really dark and rich. - 5/27/11

     YUMMY!!! these are just so excellent. I had no idea I could use tofu to make something I have missed so much! I used only 1 cup of the sugar, as no sugar has passed my lips since before christmas, and I cup stevia in the raw. Turned out moiset and dense. Thankyou for wonderful idea and treat! - 3/7/11

     So delicious!! Very moist though. I preferred the taste after a few days better than fresh out of the oven. I paired it with some lowfat cream cheese icing and brought it to work - It was a big hit! I will probably try to add fat free cream cheese and choc chips for a lowfat blackbottom cupcake. - 6/11/08

     My whole family loved them! We sprinkled them with cinnamon. - 2/13/08

     Somewhat dense and heavier than traditional cake, but a good texture. I told my family they were cake-y brownies, and the kiddos gobbled them up. I made them again with choc. chips added to kick it up a notch ;-) - 5/31/11

     I really enjoyed these (cupcakes). I was shocked that you can sub tofu for eggs, oil, etc. So cool! Thank you for sharing :) - 5/12/10
  • PAULINLIM
     Fabulous! I made this as a Bundt cake, baking at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Much bigger than the box-mix version, and has no trans-fats, unlike the box mix. - 5/23/08

     Made these for a tailgate - used paper muffin liners. Brought them to a tailgate - even the "I don't like tofu" people liked them! put a dollup of fat free cool whip on them - and ate too many :) - 5/18/08

     Aside from the cocoa, I used this recipe as a basic cake recipe, since I wanted to make marbled cupcakes. Well, after baking them, I realized that I should have left out the baking soda, because it turned out more like a brownie. Either that, or the melted chocolate I used may have been too heavy. - 10/30/13

     WHY SO MUCH SUGAR???? That's an absurd amount for something supposedly "HEALTHY!" I'm substituting Truvia and whole wheat and garbonzo flours.
    It smells like POO, sooo... we'll see! - 6/19/13
  • FILARECKI1
     Sounds really delicious. As a diabetic, though, I would replace the sugar with Truvia and some applesauce as sweeteners and to perhaps make the cake less dense. I'll let you know how it turns out. - 7/26/11

     thank you for the "from scratch" recipe. I never use boxed mixes. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds fabulous! - 3/29/11
  • YAKHUGGER
     If I only have firm tofu can I blend it up and then use it for this recipe? - 7/26/10
