Doggy cake

Ok so I know what your thinking, I thought this was about easy recipes to make? Well thats true, but we can't forget about our 4 legged friends! My dog Jack recently turned 5 and I wanted to make him something he could enjoy so I started my search. I came across this website with a recipe that didn't seem to hard to make. Here you go!

Peanut Butter Delight

1 cup white or whole wheat flour 
1 tsp baking soda 
1/4 cup peanut butter 
1/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 cup shredded carrots 
1 tsp vanilla 
1/3 cup honey 
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

Mix together flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.

 Pour into a ring mold sprayed with a nonstick spray for 40 minutes. (I made them into cupcakes instead of a big cake because I only have a Yorkie-Poo so he is just a little guy)

Frost this cake with low fat cottage cheese and decorate with carrot pieces. Store in refrigerator. 

Also on this same website I found a Cinnamon dog safe frosting that I put on the cupcakes instead of the cottage cheese and carrot pieces. Heres that recipe:

Cinnamon Frosting:

Combine the following ingredients and blend thoroughly: 
12 ounces nonfat cream cheese (room temperature) 
3 tsp cinnamon 
1 tsp vanilla 
1 tsp honey

He really seemed to like his cupcakes. Because he's a smaller dog I broke it up into pieces in a bowl and let him chow down. I recommend not using a lot of frosting because he had a hard time swallowing all that frosting cause its pretty thick. Plus with cupcakes you can share with doggy friends and your dog can celebrate their birthday longer!

Your probably wondering what does it taste like. You know we had to try it! My boyfriend had a tiny piece of the cupcake and said it tasted like bland carrot cake and I had a taste of the frosting that really just tasted like nothing. But as long as the dog is happy I am happy.

Happy baking
