Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (1/8 cup)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup plain, unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1 large egg

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to properly bake the cake once the batter is ready.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, ensuring they are evenly mixed for uniform leavening.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1/2 cup pumpkin puree until smooth. Then add 1 large egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a batter without overmixing.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
  7. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before turning it out of the pan.
  8. Make Frosting: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup natural peanut butter until well combined and smooth.
  9. Frost the Cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the peanut butter yogurt frosting evenly over the top. If not serving immediately, refrigerate the cake to keep it fresh.

Notes

  • Ensure all peanut butter used is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Use plain unsweetened applesauce and pure pumpkin puree (not pie mix) to avoid harmful additives.
  • This cake is designed as a treat and should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
  • Store leftover cake in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for freshness and safety.
  • Always check with your veterinarian before introducing new treats into your dog’s diet, especially if your dog has allergies or special dietary needs.
