Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Birthday Cake

If your dog's birthday is coming up, they're going to LOVE this peanut butter pumpkin dog birthday cake. It's made with only six ingredients: canned pumpkin, peanut butter, coconut oil, eggs, oat flour, and baking soda. We made this cake for Chris' birthday and he and Clark loved it! The frosting is only made out of peanut butter, but is whipped to give it more of a frosting texture. Throw a dog party and let them all enjoy the cake, or freeze individual slices for future treats!

Ingredients you'll need for this dog birthday cake:

• Canned Pumpkin: Use pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling.
• Peanut Butter: Use a thick and creamy peanut butter, like Skippy or Jif.
• Coconut oil: Coconut oil is great for dogs (in moderation of course), as it makes their coats shinny!
• Eggs: You'll need two eggs for this recipe. 
• Oat Flour: You can make your own oat flour by grinding up rolled oats or quick cooking oats in a blender until it resembles flour. 
• Baking Soda: Baking soda gives this cake the perfect amount of rise. 

How to make this dog birthday cake in 5 easy steps:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Then whisk in the eggs.
2. Next, whisk in the oat flour and baking soda. 
3. Pour the batter into the two prepared pans and bake for about 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
4. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the peanut butter until light and fluffy. 
5. Add peanut butter frosting to each layer. 

A few tips to make this peanut butter pumpkin dog birthday cake:

• I used Skippy peanut butter, but I'm sure just about any thick and creamy peanut butter will work. 
• To make your own oat flour, simply grind up rolled oats or quick cooking oats in a blender until it resembles flour. 
• Whipping the peanut butter is completely optional for the frosting, but it fluffs it up a bit and makes it look more like frosting.
• Obviously your dog should not eat more than a slice of the cake at a time, so to store leftovers cut the cake up into individual slices, place in a zip lock bag, and freeze. 

Happy baking! x
