    I've never tried a cauliflower cake. Thought I'd share my favourite 'healthier' cake recipe. It's super delicious and only 200 cals (6 g protein, 2 g fat, 17 g carbs) per 1/8.

    7 oz soft tofu
    1/2 cup honey
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
    1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda

    Blend tofu, honey, and vanilla in a blender or food processor. Add espresso and cocoa.
    Sift flour, baking powder, and soda into a bowl. Add tofu/cocoa mixture and beat well. Pour into lightly oiled 8" bundt pan and bake at 350 for approx 25 mins.

    I just really can't decide if you're seriously looking for that kind of recipe or if you're sitting on your couch snickering at everyone posting ideas and tips and that really healthy looking un-cake-like quiche thingy.

    You could try this clean recipe for lemon blueberry birthday cake from Blogilates' Cheap Clean Eats. http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/healthy-desserts/happy-birthday-jackelyn
    It's made using almond and coconut flour and come in at 199 cals and 9.2g protein per slice :)

    (edited for better link)

    Why would almond and coconut flour be clean, but not grain flour? Either grinding something into flour is processed (and therefore not clean) or it's not.

    3/4 cup spelt flour or white flour or Arrowhead Mills gf (120g)
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (20g)
    2 tsp ener-g powder, or 2 tbsp ground flax. You can omit; the cake just won’t rise as much.
    1/3 cup xylitol (64g)
    1/8 tsp uncut stevia or 4 nunaturals packets (or 1/4 cup sugar)
    1/2 to 1 cup mini chocolate chips (60-120g) (Do not omit. The recipe just won’t be the same if you do.)
    1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
    2 cups of cauliflower, (250g)
    1/2 cup milk of choice.
    3 tbsp oil (or omit and increase milk to scant 2/3 cup, for a lower-fat option)
    Maybe 40 candles? I don't know. however many you want.

    Great, Enjoy. Hope you have friends after you serve them this.

    Awesome idea! There's no better way to celebrate your birthday than with a reminder to eat healthy--a commitment unto thyself.

    Are you having a party? I would suggest a menu such as:

    Roasted zucchini dogs (like a hot dog, except you put a whole roasted zucchini in the bun) and eggplant burgers.
    Jicama Fries
    Rice-cake pizzas (rice cake, a little tomato sauce, non-dairy cheese).
    Spaghetti squash casserole (like pasta casserole, except with squash).

    And the cauliflower cake as dessert.

    Buon gusto e buon compleanno!

    Why would almond and coconut flour be clean, but not grain flour? Either grinding something into flour is processed (and therefore not clean) or it's not.

    It's clean if it starts with the letters C-L-E-A or N. Therefore almond and coconut are clean. All the other letters are dirty.

    +1

    Also, I can't decide which is more disturbing: The thought that OP really DOES want a cauliflower cake or the fact that there are actually recipes for it.
