Healthy Kid Smash Cake
 
Ingredients
  • 1⅓ c. Almond Milk
  • 1½ T. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1½ T. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ c. plus 1 T. Safflower Oil
  • 2 Eggs, room temperature
  • 2 c. Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 1 T. Baking Powder
  • ½ t. Salt
  • ⅔ c. plus ¼ c. Sucanat (I would do xylitol for a more neutral flavor. Sucanat is richer and more like brown sugar.)
  • 100% Fruit Strawberry Jam
  • Frosting (Your choice, healthy or not. I can't recommend the coconut frosting, unfortunately.)
  • Sprinkles, etc.
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 3, 5-inch cake pans with coconut oil and whole wheat pastry flour. Line with parchment paper. In a small bowl combine first five ingredients and whisk well. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except jam and frosting, obviously). Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just evenly combined. Divide evenly among the three pans. Bake for 22-25 minutes (mine took 25) until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely and then remove from pans. Place first layer on a cake plate/stand, spread with jam, layer with second cake layer, more jam and third and final cake layer on top. Cover with frosting and decor of choice.
