GINGERBREAD

Makes 9 two-inch pieces

 

       1⅔ cups unbleached or whole wheat pastry flour

       1 teaspoon baking soda

       ½ teaspoon salt

       1½ teaspoons cinnamon

       1½ teaspoons ginger

       1 10.5-ounce package firm silken tofu

       ½ cup sugar

       ¼ cup molasses

       ½ cup raisins

Preheat oven to 375°. Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a large bowl.

Place the tofu, sugar, and molasses into a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Add to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Mix in the raisins. Spread in an oil-sprayed 8-inch square baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Use a spatula to loosen the gingerbread from the pan, then turn it out onto a rack to cool.
