I need a recipe for a birthday cake as it is my sons first birthday and I dont give him sugar, chocolate or sweetners and everyone need a birthday cake please help.Does anyone have a recipe for a healthy birthday cake no chocolate or sugar allowed.?
There is no refined sugar in this recipe. The sweetness comes from the fruit:

Use all the juice from an 240g can of pineapple
but only 180 g of the pineapple. Set aside.
Soften and cream the butter (or margarine) in a large mixing bowl. Gradually cream in the beaten eggs (they need to be at room temperature). Don't worry if the butter separates. Add the stevia and fructose (or date sugar).

Is there a medical condition that your son has, like, Diabetes that would prevent you from giving him a little bit of sugar on his birthday?? If he doesn't have diabetes or a medical condition that prevents him from having sugar, then I would go ahead and give your son a treat of a real nice 'sweet' birthday cake of his favorite flavor. A birthday is only once a year, and I really don't see anything wrong in giving him a real birthday cake on his birthday. It's his day to be spoiled in every way. :-) But if he has a medical condition, then I would try a diabetic cake. You can find recipes for it. Just do a Google Search for Diabetic desserts and go from there. Happy Birthday to your son.
A birthday cake without sugar is like tea without milk. And i doubt you'd be able to do it without sugar as that weight keeps the cake proportions correct and makes the structure of it not sunken etc. I think it would be wiser to make one that uses honey, a natural sweetener. :)
ummm how about you just give him some broccoli......... wow poor kid... just forget the damn cake...
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. It does have sugar I'm afraid, but is pretty good in all other respects.
Cake:
200g flour (could be wholewheat)
2tsp baking powder
100g Finely grated carrot
100g butter
100g brown sugar
grated rind of lemon or orange
2 eggs. lightly beaten
30ml milk
Icing:
150 cream cheese
100g Icing sugar
Method:
Cream together butter and sugar, then add the rind and eggs. Beat until smooth. Add carrot, then gradually add the flour and milk to make a soft mixture. Fill a greased tin and bake at 160 degrees (pre-heat the oven) for 45-60 mins until well risen and golden brown. Allow to cool completely. Slice horizontally in half.
Mix together the cream cheese and icing sugar and use it to fill and top the cake.
Bingo - now all you need are candles!
well you could do a sponge type thing, you can get sugar free cream, jam, sugar (?)(what a world), but may i suggest maybe a carrot cake, get a recipe and use alternatives to whatever you dont want to use, and you can add layers of fresh fruit, oranges etc, to decorate, you should be able to make some sort of low fat icing I should imagine. Personally I'd have chocolate with chocolate icing and layers of fresh chocolate. Just make a trifle.
Most cakes have sugar in it as this is a sweet food.
The best you can try to achieve is to reduce the amount of processed sugar you use.
An easy mix is a 4-4-4 mixture. 4 oz flour, 4 oz cooking marg, 4 oz caster sugar, 2 eggs (duck eggs if you can get them).
Combine the sugar and the marg until smooth. Mix in the flour and eggs until you have a smooth batter.
Pour into a 7'; round tin and bake for 35 minutes on a medium oven.
Use can use fresh fruit as a filling with low fat whipping cream.

Found this recipe for a savoury cake. It's the sort of cake you can add more savoury ingredients if you want.
Ingredients :
3 eggs
225g self raising flour
150ml oil
diced ham
cheese, garted, to taste
Recipe :
1-Sieve the flour into a bowl
2-Add the beaten eggs.
3-Add the oil.
4-Mix the pastry well, making sure you add lots of air.
5-Add the cheese and ham. You can also add olives and anything else you can think of.
6-Pour into a greased cake tin.
7-Put in oven for 45 minutes, at 350掳F (180掳C.
8-Once cooked, a knife inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean. Leave to settle for a few minutes and serve.
Advice :
Try varying the recipe a little, with olives, feta or tomatoes, or replace the ham with red pepper or other vegetables for a vegetarian option.
Happy Birthday to you little one!!
I can't believe you won't even give him a little piece of a normal cake. That's really messed up and he will resent it later in life. Fine don't give it to him any other day of the year, but at least on his birthday. It's only one day and he would really enjoy it. Unless, it's medically necessary that he not have sugar, chocolate or sweeteners, you should make an exception for his birthday.
The only cake I know of that doesn't have any of those ingredients is made of mud and water and you form it into a cake. It's called Mud Cake Surprise! I used to make them outside when I was a kid. Maybe you can let him make you one on your birthday and you have to eat it.... Happy Birthday to you!
