2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup dried shredded coconut
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 (12 1/2-ounce) package firm silken tofu

TOPPING
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 cup dried shredded coconut or 2 cups grated fresh
1/4 cup maple syrup

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. To make the topping, melt the coconut oil in a 9-inch cast iron skillet, then turn off the heat. Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the bottom, then drizzle the maple syrup over the coconut. 3. To make the cake batter, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the coconut and mix well. Set aside.
4. Place the coconut oil, maple syrup, tofu, water, and vanilla in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add to the flour mixture and mix well to form a batter.
5. Spread the batter evenly over the coconut topping in the skillet and place in the oven.
