Ingredients :
1/2 cup vanilla soy yogurt
1/2 cup blended silken tofu (blend tofu first, then measure)
3/4 cup vanilla or plain soy milk
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 cups flour
3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly grease and flour a 9x5inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, blended silken tofu, soy milk, sugar, oil, vanilla and zest. Use an electric mixture to beat until everything is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Sift in the flour, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir with a rubber spatula to combine, then beat with electric beaters for 2 minutes, until a very thick batter forms. Don't overmix.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan. Use the spatula to scrape all the batter out of the bowl and smooth the top of the loaf. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (a little moisture is okay). Don't open the oven for at least the first 45 minutes of baking.
Remove from the oven and let cook in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
