Cuisine: Dog Treats
Serves: 1 cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray or dog-safe oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy, ensuring no large lumps remain.
- Add the peanut butter and eggs to the mashed sweet potatoes. Whisk together until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to create a consistent batter.
- Slowly add the chicken broth to the batter, mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
- Optional: Decorate with dog-safe yogurt "frosting" or top with small dog treats for a festive finish.
- Cut into appropriate serving sizes for your dog and serve at room temperature.
Tips
- • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients and ensure all components are dog-safe • Mash sweet potatoes thoroughly to avoid lumpy texture • Don't overmix the batter - gentle folding preserves the cake's light consistency • Let the cake cool completely to prevent potential digestive issues • Use a toothpick test to ensure thorough baking • Portion control is key - this cake should be a special treat, not a meal replacement • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days • Always consult your veterinarian about introducing new foods to your dog's diet
