Happy 4th of July to my American friends! ❤️💙 If you are looking for a super last minute baking project, try this red, white and blue banana cake with coconut cream frosting. It’s refined-sugar free so I made it for Kai's first birthday cake smash back in March. It’s a layered 6-inch cake held together and topped with whipped coconut cream, mixed berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease two 6-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together mashed banana, egg yolk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, until smooth.
3. Slowly add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, until just combined. Then alternate with half the milk. Continue adding and alternating, ending with the flour. Stir until just combined.
4. In a small bowl, beat egg white on high until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the egg white into the batter until no streaks remaining.
5. Divide batter evenly in the cake pans. Bake for 20 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Cool cake in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire cooling rack.
6. Open can of coconut cream and take just the cream from the top off the can. Place into a chilled mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold in the maple syrup. Spread immediately onto the cooled smash cake, or refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Spread approximately half the coconut cream frosting on top of the first cake. Gently layer the second cake on top, and top with more coconut cream frosting. Top with mixed berries and a drizzle of maple syrup
