Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (mashed)
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free, unsweetened)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for sensitive tummies)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons water or unsalted bone broth

Frosting Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Banana: In a bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe banana until mostly smooth. Small lumps are okay.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the natural peanut butter, egg, and unsweetened applesauce to the mashed banana. Stir together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Gently fold the flour into the wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Adjust Batter Consistency: Slowly add water or bone broth, a tablespoon at a time, to loosen the batter so it is thick yet spreadable.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top evenly.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Frost: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, spread or pipe the Greek yogurt and peanut butter frosting evenly on top before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter you use is xylitol-free and unsweetened as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Use whole wheat or oat flour depending on your dog’s dietary needs or sensitivities.
  • You can substitute water with unsalted bone broth for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Always cool the cake completely before frosting to prevent the Greek yogurt topping from melting.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
