Hey all, thought I'd share my successful recipe that I used for my son's first birthday. I didn't want to fill him up with food he's never eaten before just cuz it's his birthday, and I wanted it to be somewhat healthy.
It's gluten-free, sugar free and dairy free

-I replaced the almond flour with half buckwheat and brown rice cuz that's what I had on hand and it added a nice touch I think.
-Replaced the oil with applesauce
-Replaced the nuts with raisins
-Added more cinn and nutmeg and also some cardamom cuz I like things with a bit more spice.

He had a piece without frosting, but for the adults I made some frosting.
The recipe is simple:
1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter (room temp)
1 package (8oz) cream cheese (room temp)
2-3 cups powered sugar
blend up the butter and cream cheese until creamy. slowly add in 2 cups sugar then add more until you reach your preferred consistency.
