Spoiled Dog Cake is a wholesome and delicious treat made with dog-friendly ingredients such as whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, and natural peanut butter, topped with a creamy Greek yogurt peanut butter frosting. This simple, baked cake is perfect for celebrating your furry friend’s special occasions with a safe and tasty dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

For the Yogurt Frosting:

  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons natural, unsalted peanut butter (for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small cake pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy cake removal after baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the natural, unsalted peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, and the large egg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the whole wheat flour and baking soda into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the texture tender.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack, and let it cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Make the Frosting: Stir the plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt until smooth. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of natural, unsalted peanut butter for a marbled swirl effect without fully combining it.
  6. Frost and Decorate: Spread the cooled cake with the yogurt and peanut butter frosting evenly on top. Optionally, decorate with dog treats made using dog treat cookie cutters for added fun.
  7. Serve and Celebrate: Place the finished cake in your dog’s bowl and enjoy watching them delight in this special treat. Don’t forget to take photos to capture the joyful moment!

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used is xylitol-free and unsalted, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • This cake is intended as a treat and should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your dog’s diet, especially if they have allergies or health conditions.
  • Use whole wheat or oat flour depending on your dog’s tolerance to wheat.
