It’s also really nice to see normal cakes, made by moms who aren’t trying to make it all for the gram. Lots of love in them I’m sure! Thank you!
Thank you! I have tried this cake and it was absolutely delicious and healthy. Safe for babies.
Yummy and healthy definitely trying it
I tried the exact recipe and it was amazing! It’s tasty and healthy. My baby loved it for his 1st bday! He ate it and happily destroyed it! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know!! Happy birthday to your little one!
💯💯💯the best! 👌🏻👏🏻
You’re so lovely! Keep your channel up❤️
Gorgeous.
thank you for this recipe ! 💕💕💕
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this
Brilliant
Can’t wait to prepare it for my baby ❤️❤️
I'm making this recipe for my son's first birthday😊😊
I hope it turns out well!! Thanks for letting me know!
excited to try this!
I make this for my baby, my family and myself all the time! Its soooo good. Thank you so much for this delicious cake! In love with this recipe! Super easy to make. I wanted to try making them in cupcake form next time. How much time do you usually leave them on for when you make cupcakes?
It’s been a while since I’ve done cupcakes. I’ll be making it again soon and let you know. I would say probably 16-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Yay can’t wait to make this ! Does the cake do well in the freezer or fridge for 3 days ? I have to make it early
I'm guessing you already made your little one's cake. I hope it turned out well!
I think storing it in the fridge or freezer for a few days would be fine, as long as you set it out to come to room temperature before serving (just to help it be softer for your little one to dig into.)
Thank you for the recipe! I’m curious, what brand/model is that striped carrier you have on in the beginning of the video for your little one (on your back)?
Hi Kristina! That is a Happy Baby Carrier! I have two of them and just LOVE them, but they are in high demand right now (a bit hard to get ahold of!) My striped one from the video is an Onbuhimo which is great for back carries (no waistband) but I typically prefer their Original style which is my go-to daily carrier. I'm actually posting a video on baby carriers soon. :) Here's their website : happybabycarriers.com/

Hi, can I use those oatmeal like you get in those tall cardboard cylindrical canisters to make the oat flour? Or should I use almond flour that I have at home? Thanks!
The cake calls for oats. I just make my own. I have not tried this recipe with almond flour so I am not sure how that would turn out.
Can this cake me made for a 6 month baby?
I’m from the UK so I’m curious about the apple sauce that you use. Ours is traditionally served alongside pork dinners, and 2 of the first 3 ingredients are sugar and glucose-fructose syrup so obviously we can’t use it. You’ve inspired me to try a modified recipe though as I’m trying to avoid added sugar for my 11 month old and intend to keep that up until he’s at least 2!
Hi Aimée, the applesauce I used is simply puréed apples (no sugar added). If you can buy puréed apples in baby food or perhaps sub another sweet fruit purée? I’ve not tried it but just a couple ideas.
I know I'm way late but you can make your own no added sugar apple sauce super easily by just simmering apple slices on low on the stove, then mash them up. If you know the ol' baked apple you can do that too and scoop out out but it'll probably be less apple-sauce like and more apple syrup-ish.
hi .. i enjoyed watching your video.. i’ve tried using your recipe but i wonder why the cake doesn’t come off the pan easily like you did? it sticked to the the bottom and kinda a mess.. any advice for me where in the process I could have gone wrong ? Appreciate your advice. Thanks
Did you let the cake cool before removing it? I've never had trouble with this recipe especially if I let it cool 15-20 minutes on a cooling rack. Sometimes you can use a knife around the edges of the pan to help loosen it as well or try tapping the pan. Also, be sure to coat the pan in coconut oil or some kind of oil before pouring in the batter. Hope this helps!!
Shes so cute love her
Hello :) could I make this cake and the frosting the night before the party? Or would it be best to the frosting a few hours before the party? Thank you :)
Hello Carla! Honestly, I would wait and make it a few hours before. It gets sort of dry if stored in the fridge too long. Hope that helps! :)
Could i make this for my 6mo old bby?
Hi, thanks for sharing. I would like to try this for my girl but wanted to skip vanilla extract and cinnamon, is it OK? For coconut cream, will it melt as the room temperature is 30 degree Celsius here 😅
I’m honestly not sure how long it would last at that temp. Maybe wait to put the icing on until soon before or store in fridge for a bit if that’s an option? It won’t be as flavorful without those ingredients but I’m guessing your baby won’t care as their tastes are different than adults. 😉
thanks for this! In addition to a smash cake for baby, I want to make this for adults as well. do you have a recipe for the bigger cake in the video?
Hi! The large darker pink cake I made for adults is a different recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. It’s delicious and I highly recommend (but not sugar free.) You can search for homemade strawberry cake on her site and that’s the one I made :)
Curious, did you sweetened the coconut cream or left it plain? Idk if I missed a step! Thank you
I added just 1 tbsp maple syrup, but you definitely wouldn't have to! Here's the link to the coconut cream recipe if that helps.
Thank you SO much for this 😍🥰 I have a question, Can you make your own apple sauce and how? Or store bought is better?
Hi Sofia - You can make your own applesauce if you prefer. I just buy unsweetened to save myself time. :)
Any tips on how to get the frozen cocoanut out easier?
If you don’t freeze it all the way it’s easier to work with. If you accidentally freeze it too much just let it thaw a bit until it comes out easier.
Hi. Can i use mango puree exept apple puree
Do you mean mango puree instead of applesauce? I would think that might work, but I've not tried it.
What temperature should the oven be set at? I don't think I saw that info x
375 F. You should find the whole recipe here: dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/#recipe
Thanks for watching!
Hi. I want to try making this cake for my niece's birthday which is coming up in a few days but they don't sell apple sauce in my area :( are there any alternatives that I can use???
Hello :) -You could possibly try a fruit puree instead like apple puree or even a fruit baby food as applesauce is basically just pureed apples.
Hi! So i tried this recipe a few times. Just practicing for my daughter's first birthday. But each time ive tried, its like the cake isnt baking all the way.. the top will cook perfectly but the inside will be super runny..
Hello, not sure what could be going wrong. Are you baking in a 4in cake pan and only filling it 1/2 to 2/3 full?
Can i use wipped cream as a frosting ?
Yes, my frosting is essential whipped coconut cream. You could easily use another whipped cream as well.
Can I prepare it the night before and store it in the fridge? How long does the cream stays stiff?
Prepping the cake the night before would be fine. I find the cream works best if I prep the day of as it does dry out/get hard if stored in the fridge too long.
I don’t think you said what temperature to bake it in?
Hi Milania, bake at 375, 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You can find the full recipe here: dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/
Non-baker dad here. Is that pan 2” or 3” deep? Can’t wait to try this out for my sons first birthday!
2 inches deep
@@dietitianmeetsmom Thank you so much!
What's a good cocoanut oil alternative?
You could use butter or probably avocado oil.
What’s the baking time and how long? I can’t find it anywhere in your website
Hello! 375 degrees, 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The recipe card is at the end of this post with all the details: dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/
I tried using multi grain baby cereal since it pretty much the same thing as blended oats. Or Atleast I thought because I tried it twice and it came out as mush? Do you know if it should work? Because if it should maybe I did something else wrong lol
Get oat flour or almond flour
Haven’t tried it with that. Different grains definitely cook differently though. I would stick with oats & see how it comes out.
Has anyone tried making them into a 6” pan?
I did and it worked out perfectly for me!
Would it be okay if I added an egg or two to this recipe?
I’ve not tried it. Please come back & let us know how it turns out if you decide to experiment!
Does this work with almond flour ?! THX
Hello! I’ve not tried making this almond flour before.
Can I make this into cupcakes instead of a cake? Do you know how many cupcakes it would make?
You can! I can't remember how many it makes, but I've baked it in a muffin pan before. Just bake until the toothpick comes out clean!
Would it be sweet enough if I dont use apple sauce?
I've not tried it before. If you decide to try it without the applesauce, please come back and let us know how it goes!
What flavor, other than coconut, can you make?
I haven't tried any flavor other than coconut. I know some people make an icing alternative out of Greek yogurt for their baby's cake, which seems like a good idea and may be worth looking for a recipe if that's more your style! :)
How long and how many degrees to bake?
375 degrees for 15-20 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean!) You can find the full recipe card here: dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/
Can I use two bananas instead of four?
I haven't tried making the cake with just two bananas. It will change the consistency some.
Its so nice to know the recipe without eggs. I am not ready to give my baby eggs. So please to have this recipe. Just one concern is the temperature of baking the cake. Please mention. ❤
I was going to make this cake for my son tomorrow but now I’m curious, what is your concern with the temperature?
The cake should be baked at 375F. The link to the full recipe is posted below the video. Thanks for watching! :)
Can you make it and Freeze it in?
I’ve not tried it, but I would imagine the cake itself would freeze well & you could make the coconut cream on the day off & decorate it then after thawed.
Preheat oven to?
375 degrees
My cake didn’t come out fluffy at all; it was heavy and dense, why do you think that is? I followed all the ingredients and measurements. It’s dense and tight that I don’t think my son will be able to break pieces on his own from the round double later
Sorry it came out that way for you. I’m not sure what happened. It is not a super fluffy cake (due to the healthy ingredients as opposed to ingredients in a traditional cake….white flour, sugar, etc) but it shouldn’t be so hard and dense that a baby would have issues breaking it.
What's the temo of oven tho
375F ☺️ Feel free to check out the full recipe card here dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/#recipe
I really wanna learn my baby is allergy to eggs and gluten am scared to buy from local shops
Hope it goes well!!
What’s the baby carrier you use for your daughter? 🙂
Hi Elena, the striped carrier in the intro is a Happy Baby Carrier. That one is actually an Onbuhimo, but I have their Original as well and love it for front carries. I actually talk about them in another video: th-cam.com/video/cbqeoR3AUQs/w-d-xo.html I talk about happy baby at about 5 minutes in. Hope this helps!
@@dietitianmeetsmom thank you!
Has anyone tried a 6inch pan?
I've had others say that a 6in pan worked well!
Can you give coconut cream to a baby? Sorry I just never gave it to mine and a little nervous
Yep, the coconut cream I'm using is usually just made of coconut, water, and possibly guar gum. However, I do think that coconut cream in some countries is a different product sweetened with sugar etc. I would NOT give that to a baby. But in the US coconut cream is typically just coconuts and water.
Is it all coconut cream safe for baby? I dont think I have that kind of brand in my country.. greetings from ph..
You are looking for a product that contains only coconut cream & no sugar! I’m pretty sure some countries the coconut cream routinely has sugar added so make sure it doesn’t.
Can I use all purpose flour instead of the oat flour?
I’ve not tested this recipe with all purpose flour & there is a difference in baking with the two. You will likely have to make other adjustments for it to work.
Thank you so much for child cake recipe I love sukran
I was going to give it to my son for his 2nd birthday is that not normal I find everyone making it only for 1 yo
I think most people use it for a one-year-old because they are typically the group looking for a "no-sugar" healthier cake recipe. The official recommendation is no sugar below 2, which is probably why it ends up this way, and then more parents are serving a more typical option of cake at 2 and later on. However, this is certainly still a healthy option at 2 and my kiddos enjoyed it past 1. Just depends on what you're looking for :)
@dietitianmeetsmom thanks for reply he is still In a very picky phase or selective I shall say and I am not ready to give him a full piece of regular cake at like 20 g sugar and 600 cal maybe next year! Lol I will make this one thank you. He has whip cream and fruit and some dark chocolate here and there but to overload right on the 2nd birthday seems a bit too much. I just think it should be normal for kids to have lower sugar options past 1 and still enjoy it. Plenty of years ahead for the real deal. This cake is the real deal for a two yo! Thanks
@@hals999 Yep! And if they aren't used to "real cake" they literally don't know what they are "missing" anyway ;) . My kids are more than happy to eat my healthier baked goods - even past 2.
Is your oven at 350 degrees?
Oven should be at 375 degrees. You can find the full recipe here: dietitianmeetsmom.com/healthy-smash-cake/
