When my pup SAM had her last birthday, I wanted something special that didn’t require turning on the oven. A soft, chilled no bake cake made with wholesome No Bake Dog Cake ingredients felt just right. She smelled the peanut butter the moment I opened the jar and wouldn’t stop wagging her tail. Watching her enjoy every bite made this recipe one of our favorite celebration treats.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sweet Potato Cake

1. Combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Mix well so the dry ingredients blend evenly.
2. In a separate bowl, stir the applesauce, sweet potato puree, and peanut butter until creamy. Add the honey and vanilla and mix again until smooth.
3. Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry bowl. Stir until a firm dough forms. Fold in the diced chicken if your dog enjoys a savory twist.
4. Lightly grease an 8-inch loaf or cake pan. Press the dough firmly into the pan and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the cake can set.
5. Once firm, remove from the pan and cut the cake into four circles or layers using a knife.
6. Spread the peanut butter filling between the layers. Coat the outside with carob icing and finish with Greek yogurt frosting for a pretty, pup-safe decoration.

Peanut Butter Filling

Let the cottage cheese warm to room temperature. Mix it with the peanut butter until creamy and smooth. Set aside for layering.

Carob Icing

Stir the coconut oil, honey, and carob powder in a small bowl until the mixture becomes glossy and even.
