Description

Babies will love tasting (and destroying) this smash cake for their first birthday. It's soft enough for them to tear into with their little hands, yet sturdy enough to hold its shape during frosting and assembly. The best part? It's made with simple ingredients and just a touch of sweetness. Quick to whip up and easily adaptable, this smash cake can be customized to suit your little one's needs — see “tips,” below for details on how to make it dairy-free, use all-purpose flour, or swap applesauce for the bananas.
