How To Make a Vegan Smash Cake

• Begin by preheating the oven to 325. Grease 3 small (6 inch) round cake pans with oil.
• In a mixing bowl, combine your mashed banana, applesauce, milk, oil, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Then, add the flour and mix well.
• Transfer the batter evenly into three cake rounds and bake them in the oven for 25 minutes or until they are completely cooked through the center.
• Remove them from the cake pans and let them cool on a wire rack.
• While the cakes cool, combine the coco whip, yogurt, and maple syrup to create the frosting. Let this sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to stiffen.
• When you're ready to frost, spread a small amount of frosting (about the size of two quarters) on your serving dish. Place the first cake layer on top, then spread about ½ inch thick frosting over the top. Repeat with the second layer and frosting, then add the third layer and frost the top.
• Frost the outside of the cake for a classic look, or leave “naked style” with exposed sides. Decorate as you wish. Serve to your sweet little one for their first birthday smash cake!
