I made my dog a birthday cake.
It’s funny because for those that know our relationship, I’ve shared tid bits here and there via social media…Well, Chloe isn’t too fond of me. I love her. Like LOVE her so much. I beg for her attention and I’m so needy about it too.
But she doesn’t care for me. At all. She moves when I sit by her, gets mad when I go near my husband, and chews ONLY my things. My favorite couch, my favorite shoes, my hair accesories, glasses, ear pods, etc. If it’s mine, she has chewed it.
So being the needy one that I am, I made her this cake on her 3rd birthday because she’s still my favorite pooch and I know deep down inside…She needs me too. Or so I imagine.
This cake is everything my picky little husky loves! I honestly was shocked she ate it because she isn’t a big eater, but she GOBBLED it up! Made with pumpkin, applesauce, shredded carrots, eggs, and flour. All good things for puppies! Plus some peanut butter frosting to make it extra special! (My kids tried to eat it, it looked that good!)
Ingredients for the cake:
2 eggs
120 grams peanut butter, creamy
1/4 cup vegetable oil
120 ml pumpkin puree
55 ml milk
100 grams unsweetened applesauce
2 1/2 cups shredded carrot
300 grams wheat flour or regular white flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix the eggs, peanut butter, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, milk and applesauce until creamy. Fold in the flour and baking soda. Mixture will be thick. Then fold in the shredded carrots until it is all combined.
Spray 2 6 inch cake pans with oil, cover the bottom with parchement. Evenly distribute the batter between the two pans. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until center comes out clean with a toothpick.
Let cool before frosting.
Ingredients for the frosting:
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup peanut butter
Directions:
Whisk together until creamy.
Spread a layer of frosting between the cakes and on top! Top with your puupy’s favorite treats for decorations. Keep cool in the fridge until ready to serve.
