Ingredients:

FOR THE CAKE

• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 100g tofu
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1 1/2 cups date sugar/date paste/blended dates (if you can't find reasonably cheap date sugar, you can buy Anthony's Date Sugar - this is an affiliate link, and it helps this site to buy from it)
• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

FOR THE COULIS

• 250g black grapes (it is better to go for grapes that are naturally very sweet)
• 1 cup water
• Date sugar to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 200°C, and line a pan of your choice with parchment paper. This recipe uses a standard 9-inch x 9-inch square glass baking dish.
• In a blender, put the oil, the peanut butter, the tofu, the soy milk, the date sugar, and the vanilla, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture in a large bowl.
• Sift the flour into the wet mixture slowly, and add the salt and the baking powder. Mix together until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick.
• Pour the batter in your baking dish, even out the top, and bake in the oven for at least 45 minutes. Check with a knife whether the center of your cake is cooked or not. If it is, the knife will come out clean. Bake as necessary. Let the cake cool for at least 45 minutes before serving.
• In the meantime, put the grapes and water in a pot and boil on medium-low heat for 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender, blend until smooth, and strain in a small bowl. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding in date sugar.

Serving:

On a plate, cut out thin cake slices and cover with the grape sauce. Sprinkle coconut shavings for added taste, or top with a few mint leaves for freshness. Ideal with fresh grapes on the side.
