Certainly! Making a homemade dog cake is a fun and nutritious way to treat your furry friend. Here's a simple and dog-friendly cake recipe:
### Peanut Butter Banana Dog Cake
#### Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (make sure it doesn't contain xylitol, as it can be toxic to dogs)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 egg
#### Frosting (optional):
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a small cake pan or muffin tin with a little oil or use cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.
3. In another bowl, mix the peanut butter, vegetable oil, shredded carrots, mashed banana, vanilla extract, honey, and egg until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan or spoon it into cupcake liners.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you're making cupcakes, they may require less time, so start checking around 15 minutes.
7. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
8. For the optional frosting, mix Greek yogurt and peanut butter until smooth. Spread it over the cooled cake or use it to top individual cupcakes.
9. Once frosted, cut the cake into small, bite-sized pieces for your dog to enjoy!
