Max Turns 5

Today was a very special day in the Root house... it is Max's 5th birthday. He started out the day with scrambled egg, peppers and a tiny bit of bacon, then he had a couple of the birthday cookies that his mommy and daddy got him, and he opened his brand new devil ball! I know it's kind of crazy pants of me, but I decided that this year he needed a birthday cake, it's no small feet turning a whole paw old, so he got a yummy banana peanut butter cake.  We had mom, dad, nanny and Baxter over for dinner and had a yummy pulled pork sandwich dinner, which I will post later this week (I will not be ignoring my blog any longer). Max and Baxter had their normal dinner as I knew that the cake was coming!

Banana Peanut Butter Cake
Yields 1 9" cake

2 smashed bananas
1/2 C of melted low-sugar/natural peanut butter
1 C whole what flour
1/4 cup canola oil
water till moist just right
1/2tsp baking soda
dash of salt

Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Once combined pour into greased cake pan and spread out. Pre-heat oven to 350 and bake for 30 minutes.

For the icing I simple whipped some cream, do not add sugar, until well combined, spread a thin layer on the cake, for the 5 and decor on the cake I melted some peanut butter and combined with the leftover whipping cream and pipped it onto the cake. Since I thought that putting candles in the cake would be going over the top... I used some of Max's favorite treats and placed 5 in the cake.

We then put a piece on plate for Baxter and Max and let them have at it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAXIE BEAR!

My family thinks it's time for Chris and I to have a real child.... lol
