  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • ¼ Cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (Must be Xylitol free!)
  • ½ Cup Plain Applesauce
  • ½ Cup Pumpkin Puree
  • ½ Cup Shredded Carrots
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 Egg

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ Cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (Must be Xylitol Free)
  • Dog treats for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two 6-inch cake pans with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking soda until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, put together the vegetable oil, xylitol-free peanut butter, plain applesauce, pumpkin puree, shredded carrots, milk, and egg. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth batter.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is just combined and no dry flour remains.
  5. Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Cakes: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  7. Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt and xylitol-free peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  8. Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the peanut butter yogurt frosting evenly over one layer, place the second layer on top, and continue frosting the top and sides.
  9. Decorate: Garnish the cake with dog treats if desired for an extra special touch.
  10. Serve: Serve the cake to your pup immediately or store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used is free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Use pumpkin puree that does not contain any spices or additives.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour if your dog has wheat sensitivities.
  • Always consult with your vet if introducing new foods to your dog’s diet.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Dog treats used for garnish should be safe and appropriate for your dog’s size and dietary needs.
