I am on a desperate search for a Bouche de Noel that is egg free and dairy free. My ds is allergic to these and more, but my family is begging for me to make a Bouche for Jan 6. I found your recipe here: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0820/is_n220/ai_17631654/pg_4/?tag=content;col1 However, I have some questions... 1) The recipe states 10 1/2 oz. reduced-fat, firm silken tofu or 8 oz. reduced-fat regular tofu. Does this mean firm tofu or silken tofu? I can't tell if it is giving me the option for either or it was written wrong. I have only seen firm OR silken and not firm silken. 2) Can you offer a cup measurement for the tofu? I have a 1lb pkg and I am not sure how much I should use. 3) Can you confirm if the flour measurement of 1 cup is correct? Thank you so much for your help!!

MoriNu, which is the silken tofu I use, and is widely available in tetra-packs, comes in soft, firm and extra-firm. (BTW, when I wrote that recipe, I was on a strict almost-no-fat regime. Now I use regular silken tofu, not reduced fat. It's actually still very low in fat.) If you can't find firm silken tofu, then use medium-firm tofu, which is like the regular Chinese-style tofu. And, yes, 1 cup flour is correct. Also, when that recipe was written, MorriNu solken tofu came in 10.5 oz. boxes. Now it comes in 12.3 oz. boxes, which is approximately 1 1/2 cups of crumbled tofu. So, the 10.5 oz. would be about 1 1/3 cups. You can add 2 T. of oil to the sugar/tofu mixture to make a slightly more tender batter, if you wish.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
This recipe was so awesome!! I cannot believe I made this sponge cake without eggs!! I was poking around and I found your recipe for trifle. I am going to make this!!!!My only problem was with whipping the egg replacer. I finally gave up getting peaks, but it was egg-like enough to get what I needed. I used a different filling because I had used my recipe before. My family LOVED this roll. My 7yo ds wants this at his wedding!!! LOL Thank you once again!!!
