Lil sunshine is turning one come end Aug so i decided to embark on my hunt for a healthy birthday cake for her special day . After all these months of giving her well thought out and nutritious food , i'm not ready to expose her to commercial food dye and sugar and all the junk food which she will eventually come to know in future. Hahahah ....
Came across the recipe Healthy Smash Cake and got me really excited since its Sugar free, Dairy free and Eggless. How perfect! But since LO is still toothless (not sure if cake is too dry for her), i decided to make it more mushy and the result is a kueh like texture that's sticky and gooey. Was a little disappointed as the dense consistency made it almost impossible to hold a shape good enough to frost.
Oh well, guess we will just have to eat the ugly cake now. Nom nom nom
.
See how dense it is .
Ingredient :
90g wheat flour
3 bananas
200g applesauce
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/2 vanilla essence
Method :
Mix mashed banana, appleauce, vanilla essence, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix in flour and baking powder and ensure everything is well incorporated. Pour in mould and bake for 30 min at 180 degrees.
Lil sunshine seeing the cake for the first time. She was more intrigued by the pretty paper cup and attempted to eat that!
Oooh, this brownish sticky gooey mash actually tastes pretty good.
My kind of food ! *loves it when mummy lets me play with my food*
Can i have more please, mummy ?
After thoughts : This experience gave me inspiration to make more adaptions (i will never learn my lesson right ?hahahaha) so i will attempt to replace flour with oat powder (woohoo, gluten free !) Or search for a steam cake recipe for my base cake.Afterall, kuehs are steamed right ? Who says we must have cake for Birthdays. LO will have a MASH cake instead of a SMASH cake!hehehe
