The PAWfect Dog Friendly Cake

Every dog deserves to feel extra special, and my Shiba Inu, Remii, is no exception!

 🎉🐾 Last year, I wanted to spoil him with treats, toys, and—of course—a delicious dog-friendly cake.

After some searching, I found the perfect recipe from Love From the Oven, and let me tell you, it was a tail-wagging success! If you want to treat your pup to something just as special, here’s how to whip up this wooftastic cake at home.

Recipe by Christi Johnstone

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter Do NOT use a peanut butter with Xylitol (also called birch sugar), as it's dangerous to dogs. Check the ingredients! We used Peamutt Butter
• 1/2 cup applesauce go with plain, unsweetened. 
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree make sure you use pure pumpkin, not canned pumpkin-pie mix - We used Buddy & Lola Pumpkin Powder
• 1 egg

Frosting

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup peanut butter

Top with Treats! We used Wagg Cookies!
