A delightful and dog-friendly cake to celebrate your furry friend's special day.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Grease and lightly flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of butter to grease the pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution.
In another bowl, combine the peanut butter, grated carrot, and egg until smooth.
Make sure the peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the cake a few minutes before the end of the baking time to avoid overbaking.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the cake completely prevents the frosting from melting.
Frost the cooled cake with plain yogurt.
Use a spatula to spread the yogurt evenly over the cake.
Serve a slice to your dog and watch them enjoy!
Cut the cake into appropriate portions based on your dog's size.
