If you love matcha and deliciously soft cakes, this tofu matcha cake might become your new obsession. Silken tofu is the secret ingredient here — it melts seamlessly into the batter, creating a cake that’s unbelievably moist, delicate, and light without feeling heavy. I promise – you won’t be able to taste the tofu!
Ever since I made my tofu ice cream, I’ve been obsessed with making a tofu dessert series. Here is Episode 1: Tofu Matcha Cake.
The tofu gives it a beautiful soft crumb that’s almost springy to bite, and just the right balance of sweetness. Perfect for an afternoon tea, a cozy home café moment, or whenever you want a dessert that feels a little special but still healthy with a good dose of protein.
