Doggy Birthday Cake

Luna’s ” Happy Adoption Day”  Pumpkin-Apple Cake

Preheat oven to 350 deg. F

Cake:

1.5 c. water

1/2 c pumpkin

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp ginger

1 egg

2 Tbsp. honey

3 c. whole wheat flour (or a combination of oat, brown rice, and gluten free flour)

1 c. dried apples (I use Kirkland brand, 1 snack pack)

1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

Frosting

8 oz low fat cream cheese

2 Tbsp Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 Tbsp. honey

Grease an 8″ cake pan. In a large bowl, combine the water, pumpkin, vanilla, egg, and honey. Mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, dried apples, and baking powder and mix thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well until combined. Pour into the greased cake pan and bake for approximately 45 min (depending on size of the pan) or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

Combine the cream cheese, yogurt, honey, and vanilla in a small bowl until frosting is spreadable. Cover the top of the cake and decorate with pecans or pieces of dried apple or bacon.

Enjoy! As you can see, the birthday pups were READY TO DIG IN!!
