Time is running out, baby is already nearly a year old! Gulp. I confess that as the fateful date approached the more I wondered what to prepare my daughter for her first birthday cake! On what would she blow her first candle?
I do not know about you but for me birthday cake has always been synonymous with chocolate… but that’s it… my baby still has never tasted chocolate! So, how much do I need? In what form should the cake be? What type of chocolate can babies eat? Oh la la! Too many questions. But the choice for chocolate, we are keeping that! I then thought of adding fruit would be a healthy addition for a baby birthday cake. Chocolate and . . . banana of course! The chocolate-banana combination works perfectly, so far so good!
Finally, what type of cake to prepare for baby? It must be healthy and light but most importantly it must be easy to eat!A yogurt cake was the first idea that came to me.

2. To this mixture we add the natural yoghurt and then the sunflower oil. We mix again.3. We end up by adding the flour then the yeast and… we mix again 🙂 . 4. Once the dough is smooth and even place it in the muffin pan. Do not fill to the top because we need to leave room for our banana slices.
5. Now, we will put our three banana rings into the center of our dough so that the dough covers them completely (the banana heart will be the surprise;)).
6. We put our muffin tray in the oven and cook for 25 minutes at 180 ° C. Let’s go !7. Let the baby cake cool down and serve it during the afternoon snack just before you hand out the beautiful birthday gifts 🙂
