Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour Can substitute with oats or almond flour for a gluten-free option.
- 1 tsp Baking powder Helps the cake rise.
- 1/2 cup Natural peanut butter Ensure it's free from added sugars or xylitol.
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened applesauce Adds moisture and sweetness without added sugars.
- 1 large Egg Provides binding and adds protein.
- 2 tbsp Water Optional, to adjust batter consistency.

- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder.

- Once cooled, slice the cake and serve it to your dog!
Notes
You can customize the cake with dog-friendly frosting made from Greek yogurt and peanut butter, or add fruits like blueberries or mashed bananas for extra flavor. Shape the cake using cookie cutters for festive occasions.
