Happy Wednesday Everyone! So if you saw yesterday’s post you know that it was my sweet puppy Stella’s 1st birthday! Now I didn’t have the chance to throw her a birthday party ( Yes that is a thing dog birthday parties don’t laugh) and I wanted to make her birthday extra special. I had previously taken Stella to her first birthday party for her puppy friend Oliver and his mom had got him a cake made from a bakery in the city. Now I didn’t think of getting a cake made until this past weekend and I knew it would be too late to order one so I thought why not make one myself? How hard could it really be? I searched different stores to get a cake pan in the shape of a dog bone first, but since it was just for Stella I opted out to make 3 small pie ones instead of one large one. Thanks to food.com for the recipe Stella really did enjoy it and still this morning is looking to see if she left any crumbs on the ground 🙂
Ingredients:
1 egg
¼ cup peanut butter ( I used skippy natural creamy)
¼ cup cooking oil ( I personally used vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup of honey (optional but I personally used it)
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 cup whole wheat flour ( if you don’t have whole wheat flour then use white flour but it’s better with whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2.Grease your baking pans that you chose to use. For me I chose 3 small disposable pie tins.
3.Combine the egg, peanut butter, oil, vanilla and honey (if you use honey) in a large bowl. Blend well
4.Stir in the carrots and mix thoroughly
5.Now add in the flour and baking soda and mix it all together fully
6.Spoon the batter into prepared pans. To make the batter flat in the pan just lift it up and lightly tap it to the counter surface. I personally do this when I get froyo in order to add more into my cup!
7.If you want add on top a milkbone, but don’t push it into the cake just place it nicely on top of the batter
8.Bake in oven for 40 minutes
9.Take out cakes and let them cool in pan for 10 minutes then if you have put on a wire rack to cool completely or onto a different plate.
Hope all of your furry friends enjoy this cake! Stella for sure did <3
