Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

-
Add the ricotta cheese, egg whites, and ground cinnamon to the bowl with the tofu.
-
Use an electric mixer or a food processor to blend the mixture until it is completely smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
