Dog Cake!

HOW TO MAKE A

Birthday cakes aren’t just for people! Try this super easy, super fun dog birthday cake for your four legged friend’s next yearly milestone!

Step 1

Cake Batter: In a large bowl, stir together flour and baking soda, then add in applesauce, carrots, peanut butter, and eggs. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Bake: Pour cake batter into cake pan(s). Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cake to cool fully before removing from pan.

Step 3

Cook Potatoes for Frosting: Once cake is out of the oven and cooling, begin making frosting (frosting needs to be hot when it's piped on the cake because it hardens once cooled). Cook potatoes until very soft, either by microwaving or boiling until fork-tender.

Step 4

Whip: Mash the potatoes until smooth, then use an electric beater to whip them together with the yogurt.

Step 5

Decorate: Spread some of the icing onto the cake, optionally using a piping bag to add icing decoration around the cake. Decorate with your dogs favorite treats, or even fresh fruits!
