I don't normally care if Emma has bites of cake now and then, but I didn't want to deal with a sugar-high tired baby on her birthday. So... I went all granola and made a healthy banana smash cake. This cake is pretty delicious and tastes like banana bread!
We used a 9" cake pan, and gave Emma a quarter of the cake (double layered!). We cut the rest of the cake into small pieces.
For frosting, I'd seen a recipe for a healthy cream cheese frosting to make, but when I was frosting the cake (10 minutes before the party started) I couldn't find it, so I improvised:
- 1 package Philadelphia cream cheese
- Add enough apple sauce to make it creamy
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- A few pinches of sugar (enough to make it vaugely sweet)
Mix, and voila! Enough for a goopy frosting job on Emma's piece and then some. :)
