--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      c             Cocoa powder
   2 1/2  c             Unbleached flour
   1      tb            Baking powder
   1      ts            Baking soda
   1      ts            Cinnamon
   1      ts            Salt
   1      c             Margarine -- softened
   2      c             Sugar
   3                    Eggs or egg substitute
   1      tb            Vanilla
   2      c             Zucchini -- grated
   1      c             Nuts (optional)
 300      g             Dessert tofu -- pureed
   1      tb            Vinegar or lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix cocoa, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt
together in a bowl. Set aside.

Beat margarine & sugar together until smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.

Stir in vanilla, zucchini & nuts.

Blend tofu with vinegar.

Stir a bit of the dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture, followed
by a bit of the zucchini puree. Alternate mixing, a little at a time,
until it's all together.

Pour into a greased & floured (or nonstick) 10" loaf pan or a 9x13"
square pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out
clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.

Notes:

This is a really moist heavy cake--make sure you cool it all the way
before topping it, or the topping will just disappear into it.
