For the pastry, mix flour with 80 g of sugar, baking powder and 1 tbsp of soy flour. Add cold margarine in chunks and knead into a smooth dough. Wrap in film and chill for 30 minutes.

For the filling, mix Silken Tofu with 150 g of sugar, starch, vanilla pulp, lemon zest and juice, rapeseed oil and 2 tbsp soy flour at high speed until smooth. 

Preheat oven to 180 °C. Grease a large springform cake tin and line with the pastry, including 2/3 of the sides. Spread the filling into the pastry case and bake for 45-55 minutes.

For the meringue topping, beat the aquafaba with a hand mixer for 5-10 minutes. Slowly add the cream of tartar, icing sugar and vanilla extract.
Spread the meringue onto the filling for the final 20 minutes of baking time.
