How to Make Baby's 1St Birthday Banana Cake No Sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until creamy.
  3. Beat in 1/4 cup water until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg until light and frothy.
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg into the banana mixture.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  10. Once cooled, carefully cut the cake into two layers.
  11. Frost the top of one layer. Create a cat face stencil (or freehand) and cut out two cat shapes from the second cake layer.
  12. Place one cat shape onto the frosted layer.
  13. Frost the entire cake.
  14. Decorate with the second cat shape and additional frosting details to complete the cat face.
  15. Remove any candy decorations before serving to your baby.
