Mickey’s Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake

Check out Mickey’s Coconut Flour Chocolate Cake

Since I was making the Mickey treats, I wanted the cake to be somewhat healthy.  I found a coconut flour chocolate cake formula to try for the party.  I planned on preparing a smash cake for Gabriella and cupcakes for all of us to enjoy, paired with a vanilla bean cream cheese buttercream.

Decorate with Cream Cheese Buttercream–

For the smash cake, make sure the cake is cooled completely- I baked the cake and cupcakes the night before the party.

Prepare a crumb layer for the smash cake-

• Place a small amount of buttercream into a bowl, from the prepared batch-this will be used for crumb layer (then crumbs do not get into the entire batch of buttercream)
• Frost the cake with a small of amount of buttercream and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Take another portion of buttercream from the prepared batch and place in a new bowl
• Take the cake out of the refrigerator and ice with the second portion. You should have little to no crumbs in this layer.  🙂
• I used two Oreos to decorate Gabriella’s smash cake

For the Cupcakes-

Prepare a piping with a plain round tip.  Fill the piping bag with buttercream and swirl the buttercream on the tops of the cupcakes.  I decorated with Mickey sprinkles, purchased from Michael’s, and two mini Oreos on each side for Mickey.  The cupcake liners are red with white polka dots, purchased from Walmart.
