| Oat flour | 2 cups |

How to Make This Dog Cake
- Prepare the pan
Grease a 6-inch cake pan and preheat your oven to 350°F. This gives your dog cake an even, soft bake. - Mix dry ingredients
Whisk the oat flour and baking powder in a bowl. Keep it light so the cake stays fluffy. - Mix wet ingredients
Stir the melted coconut oil, eggs, and honey together until smooth. - Combine both bowls
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Mix until a thick batter forms. - Fold in the blueberries
Gently stir in the blueberries so they stay whole and spread out inside the cake. - Bake the dog cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. - Cool completely
Let the cake cool to room temperature before slicing. Warm cake can crumble, and cooling keeps it safe for your pup.
