Almost #vegan #1stBday #smashcake: egg-dairy-sugarless cake, carrot-banana-apple puree, whip cream #cookingathome 

The creation of a smash cake

It looks pink under certain lighting and orange elsewhere but I assure you it's the exact same cake and it's supposed to be orange coloured.

The cake itself is sugar, egg and dairy free (and vegan), however, the 1½ cups of whipped cream frosting kind of cancels out the dairy-free and vegan part. It tastes good on its own and would be great as a breakfast muffin.

The filling is a combination of carrot puree, mashed up banana and applesauce. Also quite tasty.

The whipped cream is coloured with 8 teaspoons of carrot puree and stabilised with about a tablespoon of milk powder. I discovered that I don't care for unsweetened whipped cream, especially with carrot puree mixed in but the baby seemed to like it just fine.

I'll probably write a blog post on this cake but until I do, you can find more info here - http://asylum-01.tumblr.com/post/142021275658/vegan-cake-hunt-i
