Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity Notes
Pumpkin puree 1 cup Unsweetened, plain pumpkin only
Whole wheat flour 2 cups Gluten-free flour if needed
Eggs 2 large Protein and binding
Carrots, grated ½ cup Optional but nutritious
Baking powder 1 teaspoon Helps the cake rise
Coconut oil or olive oil 2 tablespoons Keeps cake moist
Honey or maple syrup 1 tablespoon Optional and used lightly
Water or dog-safe broth About ½ cup Add slowly as needed

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a cake pan.
This keeps the Pumpkin Dog Cake from sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, and honey if using.
Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Slowly add the flour and baking powder.
Mix until the batter is thick but soft.

Step 4: Fold in Carrots

Gently fold in the grated carrots.
Add water or broth a little at a time if the batter feels dry.

Step 5: Bake the Pumpkin Dog Cake

Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool Before Serving

 

Let the Pumpkin Dog Cake cool completely.
Warm cake can upset your dog’s stomach.
