Title: Mark's Vegan Snowy Mountain
Categories: Cake
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2		Chocolate cake, see recipe
2	tb	Malibu*
2		Oranges, peeled & diced
1/2	c	Tofu
3	tb	Rum**
1/4	c	Sugar
1/2	ts	Lemon juice
1/2	c	Coconut, shredded

For this recipe, you need 1/2 of the chocolate cake recipe, so freeze half or set aside for future use.

Roughly cut up the chocolate cake into good bite-sized pieces & place in a medium sized serving dish. Soak with the malibu. Arrange the chopped oranges over the cake. Set aside.

In a food processor or blender, blend the tofu until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients & blend until well mixed. Spread over the top of the cake & oranges. Chill until ready to serve.

* I liked the coconut-pineapple taste that the malibu provided, you could use orange juice in place if you desire.

** Use some rum extract instead of rum & reduce the amount. Or use a fruit juice that might combine well with coconut but that is clear, otherwise the topping will look a funny colour.

VARIATIONS: Use canned fruits, fruit salads or other fresh fruits of your choice. I find that naturally juicy fruits work the best.

Use a plain sponge cake instead of the chocolate cake.

Garnish with strawberries or kiwis before serving.
