Comics and Coffee Cake

My friend Richard bought me Sarah Kramer's Vegan A Go-Go cookbook a long time ago.
I recently tried out the Maureen's Coffee Cake recipe out.
Pretty darn good.
The recipe called for Walnuts, but I used Pecans instead.
Turned out soo good.

While I was waiting for them to bake I reread the Unwritten Vertigo Comic series written by Mike Carey.
If you read comics, or like reading Neil Gaimanish like fiction, I suggest picking this up.
There are two trade novels out so you don't have to track down the issues (I get this in my box) at most comic stores. Maybe even bookstores if they carry trade comics.

Anyhow here is the recipe for this lovely coffee cake, I suggest some coffee and a good comic to go with the eating of this tasty treat. :D /nerd




1/3 cup soft tofu
1 cup vegan milk choice
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups flower
2 1/4 cups sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cups oil
3/4 cup pecan (or walnuts), chopped
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
With a blender or food processor, blend the tofu, "milk", and vinegar until smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and oil. Take 1 cup of this mixture and place in a medium bowl, and stir in walnuts and set aside. Add the baking soda and powder to the remaining non- walnut mixture, then add the tofu mixture and mix well. Spread this in a lightly oiled 9x13in baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved walnut mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. This makes about 1 cake. <3


Mmmm. I love food.
