It was a cake that originated during rationing days and uses no butter, eggs or milk. If you want, you can also subsitutue maple syrup for the sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2649607 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 09:55:09 +0000 peaches1038 2649607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made DS's bday cake for his first bday and did a banana bread cake. He loved it! I did do a whipped cream frosting though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2649485 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 06:01:56 +0000 caterw 2649485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always love recipes from The Paleo Mom! I haven't attempted a birthday cake, but I make a lot of her recipes for my parents since they eat Paleo. You could also do a non- cake dessert option like pudding, muffins with maple cream cheese frosting, or fruit crumble if you don't find a great recipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2649478 Tue, 08 Nov 2016 02:53:31 +0000 Teachermama 2649478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the cook book, Every Last Crumb, by Brittany Angell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2649016 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 09:06:11 +0000 irene 2649016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @gingerbebe: Thank you soooooo much! I am definitely trying out the brownies and the german chocolate cake!!! xoxoxoxo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2648949 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 23:58:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2648949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've made these brownies and they are actually very good. You can maybe double or triple the recipe and make it a sheetcake type deal topped with sprinkles before baking to make it festive and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.</p> <p><a href="http://paleomg.com/sweet-potato-brownies/" rel="nofollow">http://paleomg.com/sweet-potato-brownies/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2648947 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 23:52:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2648947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two options. I've made and loved both. Mrs Sunglasses actually blogged about the first recipe I shared with her. She links to the original recipe in her post. It's absolutely delicious. Technically, the main ingredient isn't paleo. But it is healthy.<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/17/recipe-good-for-you-chocolate-cake/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2013/01/17/recipe-good-for-you-chocolate-cake/</a></p> <p>Second option is paleo, made with coconut flour and made for a delicious birthday cake:<br /> <a href="https://elanaspantry.com/a-new-german-chocolate-cake/" rel="nofollow">https://elanaspantry.com/a-new-german-chocolate-cake/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/healthy-birthday-cake-and-other-dessert-recipes#post-2648936 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 23:27:34 +0000 irene 2648936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love baking. I bake (and batch freeze/reheat) mini oat banana chocolate chip muffins for my son as breakfast, and I sometimes bake a very delicious almond flour chocolate zucchini banana bread. These are my go to recipes. I am always trying to make paleo versions of baked goods because I know I'd be eating them and if I overeat on carbs it SHOWS very quickly.</p> <p>I have always wanted to bake DS's birthday cake. I found a few recipes, and while I am tempted to try, they are not the most "healthy" (regular white flour with a bunch of butter and sugar), and I haven't really been able to bring myself to make it because of the fear of me eating half of the cake. I always love baking with almond flour, but if we were to bake a birthday cake and invite friends, the cake should be at least nut free. So I am reaching out here - do you have any go-to (birthday) cake and frosting recipe that is super delicious, health conscious and nut free (ideally paleo/ not regular flour, but an alternative like coconut flour), and doesn't use a ton of sugar and butter in it? I would love to try it out! </p>
