As healthy as can be (if possible) birthday cake recipe needed - please

[Phteven]

DH usually won't eat cake but for his birthday he relents.
Like Bec I think it's better to make something small that you can finish on the day instead of a big cake.
DH's favourite is pavlovas so I just make a few mini pavs and pile them high with fruit.
How about pumpkin and ricotta muffins? They're yummy.

ooooo Onyx do you have a recipe for the pumpkin and ricotta muffins???? We have good pumpkins at the moment!

I have a berry sponge that is easy and pretty healthy if you want it.

Thank you for all the suggestions.

Still not sure what i'll make...i've woken up (from next to no sleep) feeling sick- so don't think i can make it down to the shops to get extra ingredients.

The carrot cake with cream cheese would've been nice- but all the recipes i found i had 1 ingredient- that varied each time from each recipe- missing (eg- one had sour cream, another was almond meal). Also don't have any cream cheese either. The banana cake sounds yummy too- i'm just missing the apple sauce...though i do have some apples which i possibly make some of my own- hmm will see how i go this morning. I've even got all the ingredients to make a pavalova except cream.

So might have to stick to the chocolate cupcakes...unless anyone has any more recipe suggestions?

Oh and Tanstar- i would still love it if you could share the berry sponge recipe, please. I know i don't have any berries- but it sounds delicious- so might give it a try for the next family birthday cake.

So thanks again and any other ideas (including recipes if possible)- please keep them coming.
