Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients for the Cake

  • 1 cup of whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon of baking soda
  • ¼ cup of natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup of pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅛ cup of vegetable oil

Frosting Ingredients

  • ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter

Optional Additions

  • Dog biscuits for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking of the dog cake.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour with ½ teaspoon of baking soda; mix well to distribute the baking agent evenly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of natural peanut butter (xylitol-free), ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup of pure pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, and ⅛ cup of vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to form a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan: Use spritz or cupcake liners in a mini muffin pan to make cleaning easier and help the cakes release easily; this step is optional but recommended.
  6. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the lined mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool fully before frosting.
  9. Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt with ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  10. Frost the Cakes: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread or pipe the peanut butter yogurt frosting on top of each cake.
  11. Decorate (Optional): Decorate the frosted cakes with dog biscuits or other dog-friendly decorations as desired.
  12. Serve and Store: Serve the cake to your dog in moderation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

  • Always use xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Consult your veterinarian if your dog has allergies or dietary restrictions before feeding new treats.
  • Use whole wheat flour unless your dog has a wheat intolerance; alternatives like oat or rice flour can be used but may alter texture.
  • Keep portion sizes small to prevent overfeeding and digestive upset.
  • Ensure the cake is cooled completely before serving to avoid burns.
