How to Cook Lentils for Dogs
Like most dogs, Layla’s a big fan of pumpkin and peanut butter, so I knew I needed to include those things. This dog birthday cake is quite similar to a human cake but with less sugar. Here’s how you can prepare it:
Step 1: Combine dry ingredients.
In a large bowl, stir the flour and baking soda together and set aside.
Step 2: Mix wet ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, eggs, pumpkin, peanut butter, and honey. Then, combine the wet and dry ingredients.
Step 3: Bake.
Divide the batter into two greased 4″ cake pans, then bake the cakes for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool to room temperature before icing them.
Tips for Customizing the Recipe
Substitutions:
- Flour: This recipe calls for all-purpose flour, but you could also use whole wheat flour. If your dog eats a grain-free diet, a gluten-free all-purpose flour should work well.
- Oil: Coconut oil is often preferred, but canola oil works just fine and your dog won’t know the difference 😉
- Yogurt: The icing for this cake is made with Greek yogurt and peanut butter. If your dog doesn’t like yogurt or you’re concerned about it upsetting their stomach, you can replace it with just peanut butter. The texture will be stickier, but still tasty.
For additional tips and suggestions, be sure to read the comments from others who have made this recipe.
