At Chommies we love to celebrate! This easy dog cake is perfect for any occasion - birthdays, halloween, easter or just a casual Friday. A great baking project to include your children, as all the ingredients are human grade, they can even lick the spoon!

Method
To make the cake;
- Preheat the oven to 180C or 160C fan assisted.
- Grease and line the base of 2 x 20cm cake pans or if you prefer to make cupcakes, grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil.
-
Whisk together eggs, almond butter, oil, honey and milk until smooth.
-
Stir in grated carrots. Then add flour and baking soda, stir until just combined, don't overmix.
-
Divide batter between the cake pans or muffin tins, spread and smooth surface.
-
Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
-
Cool on racks before frosting.

To make the fluffy frosting;
- Boil or steam the potato until very soft.
- Whip potato and yoghurt with an electric beater until fluffy and smooth as possible. Use a potato ricer if you have one on hand to create a super smooth consistency.
- Use a little warm water as needed to loosen frosting to soft spreadable consistency.
- Frost the cake whilst the potato and yoghurt mix is warm, it "sets" when it cools.
-
Decorate the cake with dog friendly treats. We like using dried liver sprinkles and our dogs' favourite biscuits.
- Do not use it in place of a complete meal - this is a treat for a special occasion to celebrate. Use your discretion and how your dog responds to certain foods, when feeding.

Recipe notes
- All the ingredients are dog friendly.
- Serve the cake the same day as you “frost” it, as the mash cracks when refrigerated.
- The cake layers can be made ahead of time and even frozen.
- Only use edible toppings, no sharp objects, like sticks and plastic.
-
Do not leave the cake unattended, a naughty dog will eat half of it (yes this has happened)
