This is an improvised version of my own sticky date pudding. While I was in Taipei caring for my 90-year old Dad there was no oven in sight, no eggs or dairy in the fridge, but I wanted to make something sweet for him. Silken Tofu is a perfect substitution for eggs, fat and dairy.


Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 1 cup Self raising flour
  • 1 cup Buckwheat flour
  • 1/4 cup Corn flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 tsp Bi-Carb Soda
  • 12 Dates, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 3 cubes Preserved ginger, chopped
  • 1 tub Silken Tofu
  • A handful of Pecan nuts
  • 2 Tbsp Marmalade, warmed

Method

  1. Grease a 23cm cake tin, add baking paper to base of tin.
  2. Cook chopped dates with water briefly at medium heat till it becomes soft, turn off heat, let cool a little.
  3. Mix flours, sugar and bi-carb soda in large bowl. Add date mixture and tub of tofu. Mix well and pour into cake tin.
  4. Place in rice cooker, add 3/4 cup of water to bottom of the rice cooker, turn it on. The cake should be ready in about 20 minutes. Take it out and let it cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
  5. Decorate with pecan, glaze with warmed marmalade. Enjoy!

Notes

A winter warmer the whole family will love. Get the kids involved in mixing and glazing the cake. It’s really quick and easy.

  • This is something like my mum use to make in a Dutch oven. We only had a stove top, no oven on the boat so mum got very inventive with her cooking. This one I am passing onto her to see if she can do while on dry land.
