HEALTHIER SMASH CAKE FOR BABY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375F.
• Melt butter in the microwave on high for 15-25 seconds until fully melted. (Skip if using avocado oil)
• In a small bowl, mix together flour, oat, baking soda and ground cinnamon.
• In a large bowl, mash banana with a spatula or potato masher, add eggs and stir until incorporated.
• Add melted butter (or avocado oil) and stir together.
• Add dry ingredients, gently stir until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into two 4.5" cake pans buttered or lined with parchment paper.
• While it's hot, use a long serrated knife to cut off the domed part of the cake until it is leveled.
• Place on cooling rack until cooled. If desired, freeze according to instructions in post.
• Set butter out at room temperature.
• Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
• Place egg whites and sugar into a heat proof bowl. Stainless steel is light and safe. Gently whisk the whites & sugar mix over the boiling water. Pay attention to whisking the mixture when it starts getting hot, you don't want to cook the eggs.
• Whisk the mixture until the temperature reaches 160F* (Note 2)
• Pour the mixture into the counter top mixer with the balloon whisk attached.
• Whip on low to start, then increase to medium.
• Once the mixture is stiff and the bottom of the bowl is cool to the touch, stop mixer.
• Change the whisk attachment to the paddle attachment.
• Add butter a little bit at a time while beating with the paddle attachment on medium speed. The mixture might look curdled or separated for a while but keep mixing. It will all come together.
• Add dehydrated strawberry powder. Whip until incorporated.
• Using a flexible spatula, fold out excess air in the frosting so that it can be piped or spread smoothly. Use immediately or freeze according to instructions in post.
• If desired, make macarons according to the My Best Macaron Recipe and download the Bibi Celebration Template in the Subscriber's Only Area.
• Apply a little bit of buttercream frosting to the cake stand, gently place one of the cakes on top.
• Apply a generous layer of buttercream on top and then gently lay the second layer on top.
• Place a small amount of buttercream in a separate bowl and use an angled spatula to apply a thin layer of buttercream onto the entire cake. This "crumb coat" will hold the crumbs in place when you pipe the decorations. Using a separate bowl for this will ensure no crumbs come into contact with the frosting that will be used for piping later.
• Place it in the fridge to set.
• Transfer frosting to a piping bag fitted with a 4B Open Star piping tip.
• Pipe the stars in a horizontal fashion.
• Serve immediately or keep in fridge for up to 3 days for maximum freshness. Apply cake toppers and enjoy.
