Healthy First Birthday Smash Cake Without Sugar

(6 ounces) Whole milk Plain Greek Yogurt

(240 grams) mashed bananas, about 3 medium ((make sure to use very ripe ones))

eggs, beaten

vanilla extract

raspberries or blueberries (optional)

coconut oil (optional, see note)

(200 grams) rolled oats

baking powder

baking soda

cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Grease or line cake pans with parchment paper.

Add oats to a food processor or blender and blend into a flour. You can also use oat flour if you have it. Combine with the rest of dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients together.

Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until everything&#39;s well incorporated.

Evenly distribute the batter into three 5 inch cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool slightly in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

In the meantime prepare the frosting of choice(see note).

Slice the rounded top off of each cake to create a flat surface. Add dollops of frosting to first layer of cake and spread evenly. Place the second layer on top and repeat. You can go a step further and frost the entire cake.

Healthy First Birthday Cake

Medjool Dates, Pitted

(3- 4) Ripe Bananas

Eggs

milliliters (¼ cup) Coconut Oil, Melted ((plus extra for greasing tins))

(½ cup) Coconut Flour

tsp Cinnamon

½ tsp Baking Powder

(½ cup) Raspberries

(1 cup) Frozen Raspberries, defrosted

tbsp Chia Seeds

tbsp Warm Water

(14 ounces)Can Coconut Milk (, chilled in the refrigerator overnight)

Drops Vanilla Extract

Blend

Blend the dates in a food processor until broken down and clumped together to form a paste. Add the bananas and continue to blend until combined.

Preheat

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170C / 340F. Line and grease two 7-inch pans with some coconut oil.

Transfer the banana date mixture to a large mixing bowl together with the eggs and oil. Carefully mix until combined. In a separate bowl mix together the coconut flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredient and stir through. Wait for 10 mins to allow the coconut flour to expand.

Fold

Add the raspberries and gently stir through before pouring the mixture equally into the prepared cake pans.

Bake

Bake, in the centre of the oven, for approx. 45 mins or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, it is done. Allow cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Place on a wire rack and allow the cakes to completely cool before assembling and frosting.

Cake

Heat

Heat the berries and chia seeds in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the berries are heated through and begin to break down and bubble. Taste the mixture, if you feel it is too tart then you can add a sweetener of choice (e.g. a touch of maple syrup.)

Cool

Remove from the heat and let cool, the jam will thicken as it cools. Transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator for at least one hour or until ready to assemble the cake.

Chia Jam

Scoop

Scoop out the thick coconut cream from the top of the coconut milk can. Add to a large mixing bowl, along with the vanilla.

Whip

Whisk until it resembles whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the cake.

Coconut Whipped Cream Frosting

Assemble

Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the chia jam. Top with the 2nd layer and spread the coconut cream frosting over the top and sides. Decorate as you wish.
