Low Sugar Baby’s First Birthday Cake Recipe
A low sugar, no butter, carrot cake recipe for a Baby's First Birthday Cake.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 tablespoon baking soda
- 1/4 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup oil (I use olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons apple sauce
- 1/4 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup shredded carrot
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line the bottom of 2 4.5 inch ramekins. Then grease the pans.
- Sift all dry ingredients, flour to ginger, in a bowl. In a mixer beat egg and sugar. Add in oil slowly. Beat the egg/sugar mixture on high for about 5 minutes (mixture should increase to almost double in size). Add in apple sauce and vanilla. Using a spatula, fold in dry ingredients then fold in carrots. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (cupcakes will bake in less time). Let cool then frost with Cashew Cream Icing
Notes
I used 2 4.5 inch ramekins but you could also make this into cupcakes or bake in a 6 inch round cake pan. The bake time will be less for the cupcakes.
