Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (Xylitol-free)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (plain)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
For Frosting: 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
For Frosting: 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-inch round cake pan with a small amount of coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and baking soda.
Step 3: In a separate large bowl, combine the 1/4 cup peanut butter, oil, pumpkin puree, applesauce, and egg. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: For the frosting, mix the Greek yogurt and 2 tbsp peanut butter until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and decorate with your dog’s favorite biscuits.
Notes
Always check that your peanut butter is free of Xylitol. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
