Here’s a look at what you’ll need for the recipe. Bananas: You’ll want them to be very ripe with lots of brown spots, which indicate sweetness. Whole wheat flour: This flour has nutrition and fiber but also absorbs moisture well so it helps the cake bake through well. Oat flour Baking powder and baking soda Cinnamon Butter: preferably with unsalted butter to control the level of salt in the cake. Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries are stirred into the batter so they’re evenly distributed throughout the cake. TIP: This cake is a no-added-sugar so the natural sweetness from the fruit shines through.    Step-by-Step Instructions This smash cake is very easy to make, even if you aren’t a regular baker. Here’s a look at the steps involved. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full info. Start with very ripe bananas. The browner they are, the sweeter they will be! Add to a blender and blend into a puree. Add to a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Prepare your 6-inch cake pans by coating with nonstick spray and adding a round of parchment paper. This will ensure that the cakes come out of the pans easily once they are baked. Divide the batter between the pans. Bake and let cool in the pans.     How to Make Natural Frosting with Blueberries Here’s a look at the general process for making the blueberry frosting. Place the freeze dried fruit into a blender or spice grinder. Blend to make a fine powder. Add the rest of the ingredients and the powder to a medium bowl. Beat. Spread some of the frosting onto one cake. Top with the second cake and add more frosting on top. Frost the sides to finish.
