Dog Birthday Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray cooking spray in two 6-inch round cake pans (these are smaller than normal cake pans) and line with parchment paper on the bottom.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, oil, applesauce, creamy peanut butter, carrot, banana, and honey. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 3

Add flour and baking powder to the bowl and mix with a spoon. The mixture will be on the thick side.

Step 4

Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.

Step 5

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on a wire cooling rack. Let cool to room temperature before frosting cake. If frosted too early, the “frosting” will melt.

Step 6

Once the cake is cooled, mix the Greek yogurt and peanut butter in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 7

Place the bottom layer of cake on a serving dish and place a generous amount of frosting on top and spread it out to the edges.

Step 8

Layer with the other cake piece and frost top and sides of cake. Place dog bones on top of the cake for decoration.

Step 9

Serve immediately.
