Puppy Birthday cake!!

Our little Almond Joy has finally turned a year old. I cannot believe how time just flew by. One minute she was a tiny little thing that could fit almost in the palm of our hands and now she is a very pretty puggy princess with the appetite of a horse. No lie she will gobble anything down. Her favorite word is cookie and she will pretty much ignore our existence when food is present but we still love the adorable mooch face. 

For her birthday we decided to make something special and make her a cake that was eatable for her and for the rest of the family without paws. We made a Whole wheat, peanut butter, and banana cake that was sweetened by honey and the banana themselves. No sugar or salts added. As for the frosting, we mixed organic peanut butter and Chobani Vanilla Greek yogurt and it came out delicious. The texture was that of banana bread with a little hint of wheat but all in all, the flavor was good all the way around.

Here is the recipe for anyone that has a little puppy about to turn 1 or for anyone that wants to celebrate their dogs birthday!

Peanut Butter Banana Cake

Need, hand mixer,  parchment paper, 6in round cake pan or cupcake pan and pam so the cake doesn't stick to the edges.

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
1 Cup banana, mashed (About 2 bananas)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey
1 egg

Frosting:

1/2 cup Peanut Butter
2 cups of Greek yogurt.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven at 350 degree F
2. Combine all dry together.
3. Combine all wet together
4. Mix ingredients until they are well incorporated.
5. Fill pan with cake mixture and bake for 30 minutes.

Center will still remain a bit moist due to the bananas. Place in the fridge and let it cool down a bit before adding the frosting.

We cut our cake in half and made it into a 2 layer cake.

Fill in or decorate as you would do a regular cake or if using cupcake pan, pipe on the frosting as you would a regular cupcake.
