Homemade Dog Birthday Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil 

  • 1 cup shredded carrots 

  • 1 tsp vanilla 
1/3 cup honey 

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup white or whole wheat flour 

  • 1 tsp baking soda 

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • Dog biscuits for decoration
  • Optional: Banana, more peanut butter, frankfurter hot dogs for ‘candles’

How to make the cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

Mix together flour and baking soda and add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour all of it into a ring mold sprayed with a nonstick spray, and leave in the oven for 40 minutes.

If you’re feeling brave, you can slice the cake into two layers and add more peanut butter and sliced or mushed bananas. Or simply go to the next step.

Frost the cake with low fat cottage cheese or cream cheese and decorate with dog biscuit treats. Stick in some halved Frankfurter hot dogs as ‘candles’. Store in refrigerator.

This is a great site, I love it! My dog's birthday is in two days time and I'll certainly try one of the recipes. I assume the recipes which contain no doggie products can be consumed by humans too. I would just like to ask whether carob is safe for dogs and also can it be eaten by diabetic humans? thanks for making my day!

Too cute! Thanks for the great hub and recipes. Bought some cupcakes from a doggie bakery a few years ago for her birthday -- obviously she loved them. Think she'd love these treats even more!

LOL, well, we no longer have a dog; she passed in 2004, but we do have 4 cats, and I'm sure this is adaptable for them! :-D ;-)

Cute idea! Voted up.

I would love to try out all your recipes. Yes, my dogs are my best friends. I have baked for them before, usually simple wheat cookies and carrot cake. It's a good idea to throw a party for them but I really worry about the clean up later.

Years ago I made homemade dog bisquits but never made a birthday cake or cupcakes for them. Guess they never missed what they did not know. Haha! Yours must be very pampered pets! Congrats on the win!
