strawberry-banana smash cake with cream cheese frosting

Sainty is ONE and this healthy strawberry-banana smash cake with cream cheese frosting was so yum! Although he didn’t end up eating it until the next day cause he was too excited to swim! So we shared a piece for breakfast (:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, mix:

1/2 c tigernut flour (any flour you prefer also works here!)
1/2 c just ingredients strawberry protein powder (any protein powder works here as well. I’ve made this recipe with vanilla collagen protein and it was delicious)
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t cinnamon

-mix well. 

In a blender add:
2 organic (local, pasture raised is best!) eggs
1/2 t vanilla
1/4 c melted grass fed vanilla bean ghee, (butter or coconut oil also work!)
2 very ripe bananas

-blend until smooth. Add to dry mixture and mix well.
-smooth evenly into a greased + lined cake pan (I used a small 8” one, you can double the recipe and make a bigger one!) bake for 35-40 minutes until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Frosting: (note: I didn’t have cream cheese when I made it this time around. Check my stories highlight “sainty’s eats” for the delicious yogurt frosting I made instead!)

Beat together the following:
2 oz organic cream cheese (DF if needed. I use & love the miyokos brand which is organic and just cashews, coconut, and cultures), room temp
1 T organic vanilla bean ghee, melted
4 T vanilla collagen protein powder
Pinch of sea salt

-spread evenly on top of chilled cake and store in fridge. Top with fresh berries!
