Sugar-Free Birthday Cake!

So, here is how we made this tasty cake for our wee one on his first birthday:
Cake:
2c. Flour
2/3 c mashed banana
1/2 c softened butter
3/4 c water
1tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix banana and butter until good and creamy. Add water. In another bowl, beat the eggs until very foamy, then add to the banana mixture. Then slowly beat in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon. Bake for about 20 min or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Sugar-free icing:
8 oz cream cheese
Mashed banana and berries to taste (this is the only sweetness, but turns out pretty good!)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Set the cream cheese out so it gets to room temperature, then beat with a fork until whipped. Then add some mashed banana and berries (berries are fun for added color and the ultimate in birthday cake mess making!), we used blackberries.

Result  = yum!
