    Ingredients

    1½ pkgs Sunrise Coconut Flavour Tofu Dessert , blended
    ⅓ cup vegan margarine , room temperature
    ⅔ cup sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    ¼ cup water
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1½ tsp baking powder
    ¼ tsp salt
    1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
    Vegan Coconut Frosting:
    1 cup vegan margarine
    3 cups icing sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    For Decorating:
    ½ cup toasted coconut shavings or shredded coconut

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 8” round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. You will need to bake a second batch to make a 4-layer cake (like image).
    2. In a medium size bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed and cream vegan margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
    3. Add tofu, vanilla and water. Mix until smooth.
    4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, shredded coconut and salt.
    5. Gradually add the flour mixture into the tofu mixture and mix with a spoon until well combined.
    6. Pour cake batter equally into pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool a few minutes before removing from pan to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
    7. FROSTING: In a medium bowl whip vegan margarine until smooth. Slowly add icing sugar until fully incorporated, then the vanilla.
    8. Spread ¼ of the frosting on top of first layer, add second layer on top. Add ½ of remaining frosting on top, spread the rest around the sides until completely covered. Sprinkle with coconut shavings.
