This is our recipe box. About a decade ago when we started getting rid of cookbooks and relying on the web instead, it didn't occur to us that our treasured recipes might begin to disappear over time. This is our solution to that problem: a permanent, maintained site where we can stash our versions of the recipes that we rely on night after night. Each recipe is preceded by the course that the recipe usually represents, so by searching for "main course" or "soup" etc. the list can be narrowed.

Dessert: Chocolate Raspberry Bundt Cake
adapted from the Park Ivy Garden Cafe Cookbook
1 c. silken soft tofu
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. cooking oil
1/2 c. milk or alternative milk (such as soy or almond)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1 3/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. fresh or frozen raspberries
1 recipe chocolate frosting*
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. and thoroughly oil a bundt pan.
2. In a food processor or blender combine tofu, water, milk, oil and vanilla. When smooth, transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet in several additions, stirring just to combine. Add raspberries. Pour batter into oiled pan and bake in preheated oven, checking every 5 minutes after 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan, then turn out onto a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate frosting.
*Chocolate Frosting
5 Tbs. margarine or butter
4 Tbs. milk or alternative milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 c. cocoa powder
Microwave fat, milk and vanilla briefly, until fat is soft. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with more sugar if necessary so that frosting drizzles off spoon.
