Healthy Smash Cake with Strawberries
Naturally sweetened with fruit and naturally gluten-free. Happy birthday to your little one!
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 banana mashed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Frosting
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries blended to a powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line two 6 inch cake pans with parchment paper and generously grease the bottom and sides.
- Combine almond flour, oat flour, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl and whisk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the cottage cheese with mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla extract and olive oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk to combine.
- Divide the batter between the two greased cake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a knife poked in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove the pans from the oven and allow to completely cool on a wire rack.
- While the cakes cool, put the additional cottage cheese in a small bowl and use a handheld immersion blender to whip it until smooth. Once smooth, stir in 1/4 cup of the strawberry powder.
- Once the cake is cool, lay one cake down on a parchment paper lined serving dish. Add a layer of cottage cheese frosting to the top of the first cake then place the second cake on top. Add the remaining frosting to the outside of the cake.
- Sprinkle the remaining strawberry powder on the cake before serving. Don't forget the birthday candle! :)
