Birthday cake recipes for one year olds

The main criterion for children's cakes is safety. It is necessary to take into account the age of the birthday person and use only natural ingredients for preparation. At the same time, it is necessary to remember the possibility of allergies to certain products and exclude them from the recipe. It is better to choose another version of the confectionery product, but the birthday boy and his guests should not risk their health.

At 1 year old, nuts can be used for decoration by grating them on a fine grater. But there should be few of them so as not to cause an undesirable reaction in the baby. It is permissible to add honey and fruits only if the child is not allergic to them.

In any case, remember that cake is a festive dish that the child is allowed to eat in small quantities. It is unacceptable to include sweets in your baby’s daily menu.

What kind of cake can you make for a 1 year old child with your own hands:

1. The optimal test base is a biscuit. The soft, non-crumbling structure, lightness and airiness will definitely appeal to children.
2. You can make shortcrust pastry, waffles or meringues.
3. There are many recipes based on children's cookies. This allows you to use exclusively child-safe products for cooking, and also significantly reduces the cake preparation time. Cookie pieces can be mixed directly into the cream or layered like real cakes. The result is a very tender, well-soaked cake.
4. It is advisable to prepare the cream with yoghurt, curd, sour cream, custard, and cream (based on natural cream).
5. As decoration, use biscuit crumbs, fruits, berries, grated chocolate, sugar or chocolate glaze, cookies, gingerbread, meringues.
6. It is permissible to decorate a confectionery product for a child aged 1 year with mastic. The main thing is that it is prepared exclusively from natural ingredients.
7. The cake can be round, square, rectangular, or shaped. It has been especially popular lately to make birthday cakes for one-year-old babies in the form of one.

Sponge cake recipe

Performing the work step by step:

1. Beat the eggs with sugar until fluffy and homogeneous, adding the remaining ingredients at the end of beating. Lastly, add the sifted flour in small portions and continuously beat the dough.
2. Line a baking dish with baking paper and lightly grease the bottom and sides with butter.
   

   Choose the form depending on the volume of dough obtained. The sponge cake needs to be tall so that it can be cut into 2-3 or more cake layers. Also keep in mind that properly prepared dough can increase in volume several times during baking.

3. Pour the dough into the mold and place in the oven preheated to 180-200°C. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, and do not even open the oven door for the first 20 minutes.
4. Beat the cream with powdered sugar and thickener until a mass is obtained that retains its shape on a spoon; at the end, carefully add the yogurt and mix.

Place fruits and berries on top, place a candle in the form of the number 1.
