- This superb cake offers rich, chocolaty flavor in every bite, but with surprisingly little fat and few calories. To heat chocolate, place it in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. When it's halfway melted, remove the top of the pan from the heat and stir till smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Dust with flour, shaking out excess.
- In large bowl, whisk together tofu, maple syrup, expresso, rum, vanilla till smooth.
- In another large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking pwdr, baking soda and cinnamon. Add in flour mix to tofu mix and mix till smooth. Divide batter between prepared pans.
- Bake till cakes are springy to the touch, about 15 min. Cold in pans on wire racks 10 min. Turn cakes out onto racks to cold completely.
- Make rum syrup: In small saucepan, stir together all ingredients. Heat over low heat 3 min. Using pastry brush, spread hot syrup over top of cakes.
- Make frosting: In blender or possibly food processor, combine all ingredients and blend till smooth. Place 1 cake layer on serving plate. Spread with half the frosting. Top with second layer. Spread top and sides with remaining frosting.
- Garnish with chocolate curls if you like.
