Description

This Spoiled Dog Cake Recipe is a wholesome, delicious treat designed specifically for your furry friend. Made with natural, dog-safe ingredients like whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, and peanut butter free of xylitol, this cake is topped with a creamy Greek yogurt frosting swirled with peanut butter. Perfect for celebrating your dog’s special occasions or just to spoil them anytime, this easy-to-make cake is both nutritious and irresistibly tasty for your pup.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

For the Yogurt Frosting:

  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons natural, unsalted peanut butter (for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your small 4-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the natural peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the wet base for your cake.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently stir in the whole wheat flour and baking soda into the wet mixture until just combined. Take care not to overmix to keep the cake light and tender.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, ensuring the cake is fully cooked.
  5. Cool Completely: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely. This step is crucial for the frosting to set properly without melting.
  6. Make the Frosting: While the cake cools, stir the plain Greek yogurt until smooth. Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter to create a lovely swirl effect without fully mixing it.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Once the cake is completely cool, spread the yogurt frosting evenly over the top using a knife or offset spatula. Optionally, decorate with dog-safe treats or a sprinkle of crushed dog biscuits for an extra special touch.
  8. Serve and Celebrate: Place the finished cake in your dog’s bowl and watch them enjoy their special treat. Don’t forget to capture the joyful moments with photos!

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter you use is free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • The cake must be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator due to the fresh yogurt frosting.
  • This cake keeps fresh for up to 3 days refrigerated; serve at room temperature for best taste.
  • You can use oat flour as a gluten-free alternative to whole wheat flour.
  • Always introduce new treats gradually to monitor for any allergic reactions.
