Instructions

  1. Traditional Cake

    • 1

      Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil. Sprinkle the pans lightly with flour; this prevents the cake from sticking to the pans.

    • 2

      Combine 2 cups flour and 2 tsp. baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.

    • 3

      Combine 2 cups water, 2 tbsp. honey, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla extract and a small jar of strained carrots baby food.

    • 4

      Add the flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix the ingredients with a spoon. Fold in 1/2 cup of frozen peas.

    • 5

      Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans. Cook for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick into the center of the cake and it comes out dry.

    Dog Cake Frosting

    • 6

      Fry three pieces of bacon in a frying pan. Place a paper towel on a plate, put the bacon on the plate and let the grease drain.

    • 7

      Combine 12 oz. softened, low-fat cream cheese, 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 1 tsp. honey in large bowl.

    • 8

      Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese frosting on one of the 9-inch round cakes with a spatula. Place the other cake on top and cover the cake layers with the remaining frosting.

    • 9

      Decorate the top of the frosted cake with three strips of crispy bacon. You can lay them flat on the top of the cake in a row or place them in decorative design by placing them across each other.
