Smash cake - they are exactly what they sounds like- yes! Smash cake is prepared for your little one to dig into it and have all the cream and cake all over him/her on their very first birthday:) I was not familiar with the smash cake 'tradition' until I stumbled upon this on a website. So I also decided to make a small smash cake for 'my little boy :) and I was sure there will be lots of photo-op's! There are many options to go by, whether you want a healthier, yummy, super cute cake etc. I decided to go with a simple apple cake topped with butter cream frosting. And as we anticipated he was very curious to play with the cream than the cake !
Here you go!
Ingredients
For Apple cake
Apple - 1 large
Cinnamon Powder - 1 tsp
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Egg - 1 large
Vegetable oil - 1/4 cup
For butter cream frosting
Butter - 125 g (at room temperature)
Powdered sugar - 2 cups
Method
1. Peel and slice the apple into 1/2 inch chunks into a bowl
2. Add cinnamon powder and mix evenly
3. Take another bowl and add flour, baking powder, vanilla essence, egg and vegetable oil and stir well until a batter just forms. (just use a spatula/spoon here - no need of electric mixer)
4. To this add the apple mix and mix evenly.
5. Pour this into a buttered pan.
6. Bake at 180 degree for 35 minutes or until the top turns golden brown color.
7. Let it cool it in the pan before you apply frosting.
8. To make frosting, place the softened butter into a bowl and give it a mix (mix for 1 minute if you are using a electric mixer)
9. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat well in each addition.
10. Beat until frosting is smooth.
11. Apply this on the cake and your smash cake is ready.
Hope your little one enjoy special buttery treat :P
