Doggy Birthday Cake

Among the many luxuries our dogs are accustomed to is a special cake on their birthday.  Below is my recipe for the relatively easy and healthy birthday cake for your pup!

Ingredients:
1 bag shredded or sliced carrots (boiled and then chopped in the food processor)
1 1/2 cups of peanut butter
1/4 - 1/2 cup of flour
1 cup yogurt
Sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375* F
• Mix chopped carrots and peanut butter in food processor (blend until well mixed or smooth - whichever you prefer)

• Transfer mixture to a separate bowl and add flour a little bit at a time until it resembles the consistency of play-dough (you'll see why later)

• Grease corningware dishes (I use olive oil spray and wipe up the excess with a paper towel)

• Transfer mixture into the dishes and pat down evenly.

For a small dish - 20-25 minutes
For a larger dish - 30-35 minutes

• To check if it's cooked all the way through, insert clean blade of a sharp knife and if it comes out clean, they're done
  Allow to cool for an hour or two or even overnight.
• Once ready to serve, we usually give our dogs 1/4 of the cake and freeze the rest for the other birthdays.

• Dollop some yogurt on top with a few sprinkles and voila - doggy birthday cake.

I have been using this recipe for about 5 years and each year I cannot tell you how adorable it is for us to watch them eat this cake and since it's only a couple times a year, they never get sick of it!

I hope your dogs enjoy, I know ours did!
