4 oz. tofu
1 C. sugar
1/4 C. Amaretto
14 fluid oz. coconut milk
2 1/2 C. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 C. unsweetened coconut flakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-in. bread loaf pan.

Blend together tofu and sugar thoroughly in an electric mixer or by mashing them together in a lrg. mixing bowl with the utensil of your choice. :-) Mix Amaretto and coconut milk into tofu until well blended.

Meanwhile, sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Toss in coconut flakes, then add dry ingredients to liquid mixture and blend thoroughly. Spoon batter into prepared bread loaf pan. Bake until done, about 50 min. Cool slightly before removing from pan.

Toasted slices of this bread are very nice with tea, coffee, or your favorite hot beverage.

NOTE: 1 tsp. of almond extract or flavoring and 1/4 C. of water may be substituted for the 1/4 C. of Amaretto; 1 1/2 C. water plus 1/4 C. oil may be used instead of coconut milk.
