Our tip

If you don’t have a mini loaf tin use a muffin tin lined with cupcake cases. 

This recipe also freezes well. But if you are freezing, freeze without the icing and defrost and decorate when needed.

Method:

For the mini loaves

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/ 200°C electric/Gas Mark 6.

  2. Place the plant butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together using the beater attachment (alternatively use a bowl and wooden spoon).

  3. To the bowl, add the crumbled Cauldron Authentic Tofu, the coconut, lime juice and lime zest. Mix to combine. 

  4. Next, add the flour and baking powder and mix to combine. Slowly add the soy milk mixing to prevent lumps.

  5. Line the bases of a 14 hole mini loaf tin with strips of baking paper. 

  6. Divide the mix evenly between the tin.

  7. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before lifting the mini loaves and placing on a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.

To decorate (optional)

  1. Zest the limes and set the zest to one side to decorate.

  2. Place the icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the juice from the 2 limes and mix well.

  3. Drizzle the mini loaves with icing and decorate with reserved lime zest and coconut shards.
