I wanted to feed Lucy cake on her first birthday but didn't want to introduce her to new foods on her big day. I also baked it ahead of time so she could sample the cake two to three days in advance in case of a reaction (I didn't actually decorate it until the day of her party). Recipe adapted from a blog called greenparenting (I reduced the egg white, and left out the walnuts/raisins suggested) Ingredients:
2/3 cup banana, mashed |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened |
2 large eggs |
1 egg yolk |
3/4 cup water |
2 cups unbleached flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 marshmallow |
smarties candies (1 blue) |
1 licorice, rope |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour a 9 X 13 inch pan.
2. Beat banana and butter until creamy.
3. Beat in water.
4. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until very foamy.
5. Beat into mixture.
6. Blend in dry ingredients.
7. Beat until smooth.
8. Spread batter evenly in pan.
9. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
10. Draw a cat head onto a piece of paper (approx 4 by 5 inches).
11. Use cat stencil to cut out two cat heads.
12. Frost top of one layer and place second cat head on top of first.
13. Frost cake (use a sugarless cream cheese or sour cream filling).
14. Decorate with cat face.
15. Remove candy before allowing baby to attack cake.
