I can’t believe my baby is already 8 years old! This year I made him a pumpkin and peanut butter layered cake that will probably take him a week to eat.
I also bought him a new matching harness and collar from ZeeDog. They have so many fashionable prints to choose from but apparently I unknowingly gravitated towards one that looks like it came from Slack. But I love it and I think Dash does too!
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
Frosting
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl mix together vegetable oil, peanut butter, applesauce and pumpkin puree. Once combined, mix in egg and mix until combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Pour mixture evenly into three 10oz soufflé dishes, or one 8″ pan.
- Bake for approximately 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack prior to removing from pan.
- After cooling, add frosting if desired.
Frosting
- Mix Greek yogurt and peanut butter until well combined. Pipe dollops around the edge of each layer and use a spoon to spread each dollop towards the center of the cake. If not serving immediately, store in refrigerator.
