Add a little something sweet to your 4th of July celebration with these healthy gluten-free, paleo-friendly Red White Blue Mini Cakes. They are perfect for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day or any other patriotic occasion.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line 2 round pans with removable bottoms with a cut round parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, coconut oil, almond butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared round pans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
Cream Cheese Frosting (see Notes for Paleo Coconut Whipped Cream)
While the sheet cakes are baking, mix the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add confectioner's sugar (or erythritol), 1/2 cup at a time. Add in vanilla extract and beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
Assembly
Carefully, remove the sheet cakes with the bottom from the pans. Cut out cake rounds using a round biscuit/cake cutter. You should get about 12 cake rounds.
Add about 2 Tbsp of frosting on 6 of the cake rounds and spread it out, then add the other 6 cake rounds on top. Add another 2 Tbsp of frosting on top of the mini cakes, and spread it out. Just before serving, top them with raspberries and blueberries.
NOTES
For Paleo version, instead of Cream Cheese Frosting, use this Coconut Whipped Cream.
