Instructions
Combine 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
Melt one stick of butter or margarine in the microwave and add it to the mixing bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 4 eggs and stir everything together until the mixture resembles cake batter.
Stir the contents of a 4 oz. jar of baby food into the cake batter. This will give the cake flavor so select a baby food you think your dog will enjoy such as chicken and gravy or vegetable beef.
Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour the prepared batter into the pan.
Bake your healthy dog cake at 325 degrees F for approximately 30 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the dog cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven with a potholder. Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the pan and invert the pan onto a serving platter or cake board. Lift the pan away from the cake, releasing it onto the serving platter.
Frost the cooled dog cake with a thin layer of natural peanut butter and decorate it with assorted dog treats or pieces of jerky.
