Extra-firm tofu does save time but either firm or extra firm are good options for savoury dishes. I flavour the mayo with rose harissa, but any harissa would work. If you don't have harissa, here are a few other ideas of how to flavour mayo for popcorn tofu. If they are not keen on spice you could flavour the mayo with harissa for a bit of flavour and warmth without heat, or try one of the other alternatives I shared above.
The easiest way to line a loaf tine is to use a loaf tin liner. To hold the loaf liner in place I rub a little dairy-free spread around the inside of the loaf tin near the top, before popping the liner in. After a few disasters with baking paper, I now use double-sided pre-cut baking parchment which is coated on both sides, so you can never use the wrong side and end up with cake stuck to the paper. Grease the loaf tin, then cut a piece of baking paper the length of the tin that's long enough to go up the side and no higher than2 cm higher than the tin.
A mug cake is basically a cake that is baked in the microwave instead of the oven. Mug cakes and puddings can be served in the mug they are baked in, but you also might want to plate it up in a bowl with custard or cream. Serve them with a dollop of flavoured vegan ice cream, depending on the cake flavour. This microwave recipe is the prefect treat-size cake made in a few minutes.
Sticky golden syrup sponge pudding, baked in the microwave in 2 minutes. Soft and fluffy vanilla sponge with a rich, toffee sauce thanks to the golden syrup. The sponge is so fluffy and that sticky, syrupy sauce sinks right through the pudding to the bottom, so you get some toffee syrup with every spoonful.
