Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (ensure it’s xylitol-free)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup honey or mashed banana
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots (optional for added texture and sweetness)

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small round cake pan or a cupcake tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder until well blended.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, peanut butter, vegetable oil, honey or mashed banana, and the egg. Stir the mixture until smooth. If using, fold in the grated carrots for an extra boost of flavor and texture.
  4. Combine and Stir: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until all ingredients are well incorporated to form a batter.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  6. Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt with peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  7. Decorate: Spread the peanut butter yogurt frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Optionally, decorate with dog-safe treats like small biscuits or apple slices to make it festive.
  8. Serve: Slice a small piece appropriate for your dog’s size and enjoy celebrating your pup’s special day together.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter you use is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • You can swap whole wheat flour for oat flour for a gluten-free alternative.
  • Use honey or mashed bananas depending on your dog’s preference and sensitivity to sugars.
  • Always serve in moderation, as treats should not replace a balanced diet.
  • If your dog has any food allergies or dietary restrictions, consult your veterinarian before offering this cake.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
