I need a recipe for a birthday cake as it is my sons first birthday and I dont give him sugar, chocolate or sweetners and everyone need a birthday cake please help.


Answers:

There is no refined sugar in this recipe. The sweetness comes from the fruit:

*Sugar Free Banana Cake*

- 2/3 c. banana, mashed
- 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 3 lg. eggs
- 3/4 c. water
- 2 c. unbleached flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- OPTIONAL: 1 c. chopped walnuts OR 1/2 c. chopped walnuts & 1/2 c. raisins

Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan. Beat together mashed banana and soft butter until creamy. Beat in water. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until very foamy. Beat into mixture. Blend in flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Beat until smooth. Stir in walnuts or walnuts and raisins, if desired. Spread batter evenly in pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool. Serves 8-10.

Here's another one using just fruit as sweetener. This one actually has frosting so it may make a better birthday cake. --->

*Sugar Free Applesauce Cake*

- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 cups ground almonds
- 2 Macintosh apples - peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened apple butter
- 2 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9 inch square baking pan. Beat the eggs until they drop like ribbons from the beaters. Continue beating and add the oil in a thin stream. Beat in the 1 cup applesauce and the 1 cup unsweetened apple juice concentrate. Beat in the flour gradually until well blended. Add the baking soda, ground ginger, ground almonds and apples, mix to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 40 minutes or until the cake tests done. Let cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes before turning out of pan. Cool completely before frosting. Carefully slice the cake in half horizontally with a long serrated knife. Fill and frost with Apple Butter Frosting.

To Make Apple Butter Frosting: Beat the cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Gradually beat in the apple butter and remaining 2 tablespoons apple juice concentrate.
