Thanks JD. I did a quick internet search and found the tofu option - had some left over from making a chocolate pudding recipe earlier in the week, so added this. The site I saw said to also add 2 tsp of cornstarch which I did, but didn't mention any extra baking soda. Fingers crossed...

Will be interested in the results Kerryn - I've made cakes without eggs before and you wouldn't know they were not in there so unless it explodes like Cookies garlic, you should be fine  :D

Sadly this was not a family favourite. The loaf was very dense, a bit crumbly and didn't rise - so that extra bicarb most certainly was necessary.

I wouldn't associate this lack of success with the recipe though - it just shows that  you can't substitute silken tofu and cornflour for egg, and possibly that using wholemeal SRF is also not the best adaption in this one either.

It would be good to remake it using the proper ingredients and see the comparison.

Bad luck Kerryn, try again as you said - it is a lovely cake and freezes well too.
