Yesterday was my son Kai's (3rd birthday). We had a superhero joint birthday party for Kai and Leo and the kids had such a blast! Obviously Philosophie superfoods were ever present at the party...we had superfood smoothies, cacao magic (healthy, kid friendly) cupcakes, and a green dream banana smash cake for our big 1 year old!!

Combine the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Whisk the applesauce, yogurt, eggs and egg yolks in a large pourable vessel. Add the applesauce mixture to the Cacao and water mixture and slowly whisk to combine. With the mixer on low speed, add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture over 30 seconds. Continue to beat on low speed for another 30 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Continue to beat on low speed until the batter is smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. Pour into lined muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. (for a cake bake at 325 degrees for 30-35 minutes).
