== Directions ==
1 	For cake: preheat oven to 350 °F.
2 	oil a 10- or 12-inch springform pan; dust lightly with a bit of cocoa powder.
3 	Using electric mixer, blend tofu with sweetener on low speed until mixture is paste-like.
4 	Increase speed and beat until tofu is thoroughly blended and mixture is shiny and the consistency of thick syrup.
5 	(don"t worry about undissolved granules of sweetener which may remain; they will dissolve later on when the liquids are added).
6 	Add oil, water and vanilla to tofu mixture, beating until thoroughly combined.
7 	Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cream of tartar, and cocoa powder.
8 	Blend sifted dry ingredients into liquid mixture.
9 	Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 40-50 minutes.
10 	Transfer to rack and cool completely.
11 	Glaze: in a small saucepan, combine all ingredients.
12 	Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is shiny and completely smooth.
13 	Let mixture come to a boil, then immediately remove from heat.
14 	Let cool 10 minutes.
15 	Stir vigorously before using.
16 	To assemble cake: remove sides from pan.
17 	If necessary, slice off top of cake to make surface even, then invert cake on rack set over a pan to catch drips of excess glaze.
18 	Remove pan bottom from cake.
19 	Pour glaze evenly over top of cake, allowing some to drip down sides also.
20 	Use a knife or spatula to spread glaze around sides.
21 	Transfer to serving platter.
22 	Decorate by sprinkling additional ground cinnamon over cake, using stencils to create shapes or a pattern if desired.
23 	Variation: a mixture of chopped toasted nuts and ground cinnamon may be pressed onto sides of freshly glazed cake instead of sprinkling plain cinnamon over top.
