Happy 3rd Birthday to my Golden Retriever, Einstein!
Since I find an excuse to bake for just about every other occasion I couldn’t let my dog’s birthday pass without letting him enjoy a special cake. I went looking online to find a dog-suitable recipe for a cake and can you believe there are whole bakeries out there dedicated to dog treats and cakes? I was astonished! Probably a very nice niche to be in, actually. In the end, I used some of the same ingredients that went into the homemade dog treats I made a couple of years ago. Throw in some shredded carrots and a few other things, and the cake was ready to go! It can be baked in a round pan or a loaf pan; I did it in a loaf pan and then carved it into a bone and used peanut butter for a little “icing”. I also read that you could puree cottage cheese for white icing as well.
He waited so patiently for me to give him his cake and then enjoyed the rawhide to top off his birthday evening. What a spoiled little man he is!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8" round cake pan or an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
2. Whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add the rest of the ingredients and, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool, then spread additional peanut butter on top for "frosting", if desired.
Anyone making this recipe or others with peanut butter, please make sure your peanut butter doesn’t contain Xylitol!
‘Xylitol, a sweetener used in many foods, including peanut butter, yogurt, toothpaste and chewing gum, is safe for humans but potentially deadly for dogs. If ingested, it can cause seizures, liver failure and death, warned one animal hospital, which called xylitol “extremely toxic” to dogs’
Dogs aren’t supposed to have too much vegetable oil, right? I thought they should only have, like, 1 tablespoon in treats. Is 1/4 cup of vegetable oil safe for them? I have two doggoes that are super hyped up for their birthday, and I don’t want to get them sick.
Some vegetable oil contains soy or corn products which can trigger allergic reactions im some dogs other than that there is no harm in having your dog eat vegatable oil it can be good for thier skin and coat. My dog has an egg allergy so we substitute with banana or applesauce.
I’ve just done this today, I made 10 out of the batter from the recipe, they aren’t huge but they suit my boys as they are only mini dachshunds. Have to say, I’ve eaten two myself!
I made this last evening for my Great Danes 9th birthday. She and her two “sister” danes loved it. I’m going to try it again but using carob chips instead of the carrots, just to mix it up a bit. I even tried a little piece, and let me tell you, its good! Since I eat healthy, this works great for me too.
Where do you get the doggie bone shaped cake pan or do you just impervise an use a knife to cut your own doggie bone shape.. :) .. Thank you.. Nancy L.Sparks..
My son and fiance have a St Bernard and we made her this cake recipe, it was such a hit with all the dogs that were invited to share. We tried a tiny piece so moist and the honey gave it a sweet taste. Recipe is a keeper thanks!
I am going to make this for my golden retriever Maddie! It’s not her birthday or anything but she is 14 and a half so i think she deserves a little treat :)
I have a Golden Retriever and he is turning 2. My baby is extremely special to me. I like to make him Homemade dog treats. I always get him a present on Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Valentines day, and of course his birthday. This year he’s getting a hard toy to play with our little Boston Terrier. And on valentines he gets a heart shaped dog treat and a Raw Hide dog bone. And on his birthday last year I made him a dog cake. And got him a Bunch of toys that he loved. But this year I thought I would make him a little something special, and I looked, and looked, and looked, until I found Einstein, and I knew this is what I will make him. And on it I will put 2nd B-day made out of dog treats. So thank you. You have made My dog Wilson and I very happy. P.S. Einstein is ADORABLE!!!!!!
Weird question. Is this supposed to be refrigerated (if I make it the night before)? I’m having a doggy birthday party and would rather not have to do this first thing in the morning.
Thanks for the idea and recipe! It is my Boston terriers 3rd birthday and I could not believe how much the doggie bakery near me would charge for a cake I quickly whipped this one up. We are headed to a dog friendly BBQ tonight and will share it with our furry friends! Thanks again
I’ve used this recipe for my GSD’s birthday 2 years in a row now, today is her 3rd birthday and I’m just about to put the cake in the oven. Thanks for putting recipes out there for the fur babies, they deserve to be celebrated, too!
I made this cake today for my pound puppy Oscar. We brought him home 4-21-2013 from a county animal shelter (it was a true “dog pound”). Oscar is a great dog, and we are happy to celebrate 1 yr of him with us today! Thanks for this post. I have recently discovered your blog and enjoy making your recipes!
I made these as cupcakes for my chocolate lab’s birthday (which was yesterday). Bastian loves all things peanut butter and absolutely loves these cupcakes! This recipe yielded 12 regular size cupcakes, but since he’s tall for his breed they came out to be the perfect size treats. Great recipe!
Made this for my beautiful Boston Jojo for her 3rd birthday!!! I substituted the carrots for some bacon though. With a cream cheese and peanut butter frosting. She loved it!!!!
I made this cake tonight for my puppy’s first birthday. It came out perfectly, the only difference is that I had to remove my cake at 25 minutes… when I started to smell that “done” smell. I baked mine in a 8×4 loaf pan let it cool before cutting it with my bread knife into a dog bone shape and iced with peanut butter. It turned out perfectly!!
I love this so much. My dog’s birthday is tomorrow and he is turning 3 too! I guess your dog is 6 now. But anyway, I think it would be so cute to make him a cake! My husband thinks its a little excessive, but I do what I want ;) Anyway, I will probably be making this for my cute pup tonight or tomorrow!
I am making this recipe tomorrow for my baby Skye turning one, she will be sharing with her 5 yr old sis Ms. Zoey. I will substitute unsweetened applesauce for the oil though and I am thinking about substituting rice flour for the whole wheat flour. Also I am going to make the frosting out of peanut butter and pumpkin (canned but NOT THE PIE FILLING KIND or sweet potato mashed up), I happened to see that in another recipe. But I like the base of this recipe. Hopefully it will turn out yummy, I’m sure there will be no complaints from the birthday girl and guest :) oh yeah, happy birthday banner and hats will make it exciting also, I will try to talk the hubby into wearing a hat, now that will be a perfect picture moment for sure. Chow.
I must be doing too much sugar-free baking these days because this cake didn’t even taste all that bad to me! I used white rice flour since rice is very safe/good for dogs. Makes the texture a bit odd but worked well and rose nicely (with some xantham gum thrown in). Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made this for my mom’s blue heeler Phoebe who is turning 15 tomorrow. It’s the first birthday of hers we’ve ever celebrated but hopefully it’s not quite yet her last.
I’ve just made your cake for Bobby’s 2nd birthday tomorrow. I’m sure he’s going to love it. I’m sure it will become a yearly tradition. What a lucky little Jack Russell he is :-)
Thanks for the recipe! Today is my goldie’s 1st birthday. Come see pictures of the cake I will bake and my sweet girl Summer! We are having a PAW-ty for her tonight. Photos posted on Instagram User: tammydesign_ca
I made this yesterday and posted about it today on my blog {curiouscountrycook.blogspot.com} for my dog, Oddball’s 2nd birthday. I made a frosting of 1 part honey 2 parts peanut butter and a little almond milk to thin it out.
It is my understanding that if raw, unbaked baking soda or powder is ingested by dogs it can cause problems, but that dogs eating something that has been baked with either leavening agent is not an issue.
Having a Cinco de Mayo party next weekend which also happens to be my dog Lupin’s birthday! He’s having his little doggie friends over and I’m totally making this for him. Thanks for the recipe!!
I really love your blog. I stumbled across it today and have already bookmarked about 10 of your recipes to try out! I would love some more “dog treat” posts too!
I loved this idea, today is my little Lexie’s birthday, she is 1 and I love spoiling her. I actually got her some peanut butter and yogurt melts, they look like the Wilton chocolate discs. And I melted those and drizzled it along the top. It was really cute and she loved it. I also made mine into large cupcakes (with my large muffin pan) and passed them out to my neighbors. Because Lexie is a Maltese and she would never be able to eat it all on her own. She loved it and thank you so much for the idea!
Wonderful birthday cake!I am certain that made their day, it would certainly make mine.Look forward to seeing more examples of these delicious masterpieces on here.
So sweet of you to make a birthday cake for Einstein! My yellow lab (appropriately named Yellowdog) sends her best wishes! I love baking for my doggy, and I know she’d love this cake. Too cute.
Happy Birthday to Einstein! What a great name for a Golden Retriever. I have an 8-yr old Golden – of course, I think he’s brilliant. Anything to do with food makes for a quick learn! :-)
Happy Birthday Einstein! My English Retriever’s 5th birthday is coming up next month. I think this is the perfect treat for his big day! Thanks for sharing!
Awwwwww…. aside from Einstein being ridiculously ADORABLE, what a super-special birthday treat!! I can’t show this to my dog Indy… she’ll be so jealous!!
Einstein is absolutely adorable! He and Roxie need to have a playdate! I’m definitely going to make this for her someday (if she’s good). Has he tried the Doggy Cakes from Dozen yet? Rox loves them.
Please tell me that ‘mommy’ cut up Einstein’s cake before you served it? I can see him trying to chomp on it in one bite after being made to be so patient while you took a picture of him with it. Gone in 8 seconds? LOL So cute!
Happy Birthday Einstein! He is so good waiting patiently for the delicious cake. My dog’s birthday is coming up so this would be a wonderful treat for him. Thanks for sharing
Very cute. I need to find a cat cake recipe, though, cause I don’t like my dog that much and really, he’d be happy to share the cat cake since there are six of them and only one of him :)
Did you really just say you don’t like your dog that much? Wow! I’m glad I am not your dog, and maybe you should find him a home with someone that does like him. Just sayin’
Seriously how heartless are you?? I was hoping you make a typo while writing your comment but you did actually say you don’t like your dog that much..seemjg to like cats more give your poor not taken care of dog to a.home thst.cares.and loves him! Hell I will take him from you. And if I find out in any way online that you’re abusing your dog through not liking it, I will call law enforcement on you. It’s almost a felony and I will be patient until it is. You’re disgusting. Give me the dog i will love him.
We have a dog bakery in our town and we have gotten our dog her birthday cakes from there. They aren’t too expensive but it would be great to make one at home. She turns 5 in June. I’ll have to make this for her.
OMG! I have a true obsession with goldens. We had 2 growing up, and I have been begging my hubby for one. We are hopefully getting our next in May or June. Einstein is adorable!! <3
Made this again today for our Schnauzer’s 12th birthday. I made it at least twice before and she always loves it. Easy, too.
Anyone making this recipe or others with peanut butter, please make sure your peanut butter doesn’t contain Xylitol!

Do you think I could make a few cupcakes instead of one cake with this? If so how many cupcakes do you think it would make?
I’ve just done this today, I made 10 out of the batter from the recipe, they aren’t huge but they suit my boys as they are only mini dachshunds. Have to say, I’ve eaten two myself!

I love this recipe and so does my dog.best cake ever
Dogs loved it!
Where do you get the doggie bone shaped cake pan or do you just impervise an use a knife to cut your own doggie bone shape.. :) .. Thank you.. Nancy L.Sparks..
Hi Nancy, I just carved free hand :)
Is baking soda in the recipe good for dog?
Hi Lin, If you are concerned I would recommend checking with your vet.
My son and fiance have a St Bernard and we made her this cake recipe, it was such a hit with all the dogs that were invited to share. We tried a tiny piece so moist and the honey gave it a sweet taste. Recipe is a keeper thanks!
I never baked this cake but after seeing its positive reviews, I will surely bake this cake in this weekend.
Yours has icing but I don’t see the recipe for that. Can you tell me what you used please?
Hi Jo, It is just straight peanut butter; so sorry, I mentioned it in the written post, but not in the recipe. I will fix that.
Tried the Doggie Birthday cake. Easy and delicious and quick to make. I would add to your instructions to make sure the peanut butter is xylitol free,
So glad your pup enjoyed it, Jo! Thanks for the note on the peanut butter; I’ve actually never seen peanut butter with xylitol as an ingredient!
Just curious if anyone has tried adding pumpkin to the cake mix instead of carrots or honey??
Awwww your dog is super cute! We are making my dog pearl this she’ll love it
I am going to make this for my golden retriever Maddie! It’s not her birthday or anything but she is 14 and a half so i think she deserves a little treat :)
Awww, give Maddie a big hug and kiss from me!
You have a very cute dog!!! He’s lucky to have you baking for him :))
I just made this for my Westie who turned 2 yesterday. He LOVES it. He keeps begging for me. Thank you.

Brilliant idea will be doing this for our cream retriever bella on sat she be 1
Aw, My Border Collie Puppy, Lilly is 1 on the 15th of August and I’m going to try to make her one of these:)
I am making this recipe tomorrow for my baby Skye turning one, she will be sharing with her 5 yr old sis Ms. Zoey.

I must be doing too much sugar-free baking these days because this cake didn’t even taste all that bad to me! I used white rice flour since rice is very safe/good for dogs. Makes the texture a bit odd but worked well and rose nicely (with some xantham gum thrown in). Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made this for my mom’s blue heeler Phoebe who is turning 15 tomorrow. It’s the first birthday of hers we’ve ever celebrated but hopefully it’s not quite yet her last.
I’ve just made your cake for Bobby’s 2nd birthday tomorrow. I’m sure he’s going to love it. I’m sure it will become a yearly tradition. What a lucky little Jack Russell he is :-)
Thanks for the recipe! Today is my goldie’s 1st birthday. Come see pictures of the cake I will bake and my sweet girl Summer! We are having a PAW-ty for her tonight. Photos posted on Instagram User: tammydesign_ca
Einstein sends Happy Birthday wishes and dog kisses to Summer! I hope she enjoys her cake!
Can you use white all purpose flour instead of wheat?
Yes.
What is the icing on top made out of? Is it just peanut butter?
Hi Stacey, Yep, just peanut butter!
What did you use for the “frosting”? My puppy is turning one tomorrow and I realized I didn’t have a cake!
Hi Amanda, It’s just peanut butter!
I made this yesterday and posted about it today on my blog {curiouscountrycook.blogspot.com} for my dog, Oddball’s 2nd birthday. I made a frosting of 1 part honey 2 parts peanut butter and a little almond milk to thin it out.
Happy Birthday to Oddball! Love your frosting, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! I made this for my dog’s birthday today and substituted banana for the carrots…my dog loves it!
Thank you so much for sharing I can’t want to make this for my spoiled Queen, Lady Marie. What I beautiful dog!!
Is the 1/4 cup of Peanut Butter supposed to be included in the cake batter? Or is it only for the frosting?
Hi Liz, It goes into the cake batter. I used some extra peanut butter for the “frosting”.
Tomorrow is my golden retrievers 6th birthday. Gonna make this for her!!!!
is it okey that i did not use eggs in this recipe??????
You can omit the eggs, but you’ll need to replace them with something. I would recommend using unsweetened applesauce.
love this recipe ( his wife writing this)
baking soda is highly toxic to dogs so if you love your dogs don’t give them this
It is my understanding that if raw, unbaked baking soda or powder is ingested by dogs it can cause problems, but that dogs eating something that has been baked with either leavening agent is not an issue.
Just made this cake for my lab Jazz, she is 3 today,,cake looks great! Thanks!
Having a Cinco de Mayo party next weekend which also happens to be my dog Lupin’s birthday! He’s having his little doggie friends over and I’m totally making this for him. Thanks for the recipe!!
I really love your blog. I stumbled across it today and have already bookmarked about 10 of your recipes to try out! I would love some more “dog treat” posts too!
Einy looks so great! that cake looks like something Murphy would love. his bday is coming up, so i’m going to save this recipe.
I loved this idea, today is my little Lexie’s birthday, she is 1 and I love spoiling her. I actually got her some peanut butter and yogurt melts, they look like the Wilton chocolate discs.

How ’bout a cat birthday cake? I have some holiday cat cookies, but a cake would be fun.
I can’t wait now for my dog’s birthday. What great fun.
Wonderful birthday cake!I am certain that made their day, it would certainly make mine.Look forward to seeing more examples of these delicious masterpieces on here.
What a sweet gesture to make your dog a cake!

What a great idea!! He looks like he knew it was just for him. So cute!
lol such a good dog to wait while you took his picture!!
Happy Birthday to him indeed :) Lucky guy ;)
AWWWWW!!! This is great! I’m pretty sure this is my favorite cake of the year!
This has to be the cutest blog post, ever.
This is so amazing. I will be using this recipe for my lil man (long haired dachshund Kingston) who turns 3 in May.

Happy birthday Einstein!! What a cute treat. In August I may need to make something similar for my Malcom!
Our dog turned 3 today! She is a boxer. We got her some treats at the store. I bet she would love this though.
http://www.squidoo.com/toxicdog
Baking soda is on the list. wouldn’t it be harmful?
I was wondering if people can eat this? It seems like it would be pretty healthy?!? LOL
Aww, how cute! Happy Birthday Einstein!
Such an adorable dog! Nice cake too!
Aww! Happy Birthday Einstein =D.
OMG…could this be any cuter! Love the cake, love the pup. Happy birthday doggie :)
Einstein is absolutely adorable! He and Roxie need to have a playdate! I’m definitely going to make this for her someday (if she’s good). Has he tried the Doggy Cakes from Dozen yet? Rox loves them.
so glad to see another person who likes to spoil their dog. ;) the cake looks great!
Aww, I haven’t seen a picture of Einy in forever. He is such a handsome pup. I am sure he loved the cake.
I love the pictures, so stinkin’ cute! What a cute puppy! I love spoiling pets :)
Happy Birthday, Einstein!
I love the cake! I have a great recipe for dog treats–peanut butter–if you feel like doing something special for Valentine’s Day ; )
Please tell me that ‘mommy’ cut up Einstein’s cake before you served it? I can see him trying to chomp on it in one bite after being made to be so patient while you took a picture of him with it. Gone in 8 seconds? LOL So cute!
Happy Birthday Einstein! He is so good waiting patiently for the delicious cake. My dog’s birthday is coming up so this would be a wonderful treat for him. Thanks for sharing
How cute and patient he is! I’m sure he enjoyed it :)
How cute is that? I’m sure he enjoyed it! My puppy turns one in April, and I can’t wait to celebrate!
Very cute. I need to find a cat cake recipe, though, cause I don’t like my dog that much and really, he’d be happy to share the cat cake since there are six of them and only one of him :)
Did you really just say you don’t like your dog that much? Wow! I’m glad I am not your dog, and maybe you should find him a home with someone that does like him. Just sayin’
I totally agree! That’s so awful! Give the dog away if you don’t like him. That poor dog!
Seriously how heartless are you?? I was hoping you make a typo while writing your comment but you did actually say you don’t like your dog that much..seemjg to like cats more give your poor not taken care of dog to a.home thst.cares.and loves him! Hell I will take him from you. And if I find out in any way online that you’re abusing your dog through not liking it, I will call law enforcement on you. It’s almost a felony and I will be patient until it is. You’re disgusting. Give me the dog i will love him.
I love making treats for my dog. Thanks for sharing this with us!
That is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! I LOVE golden retrievers!
Hi Jill,
Not weird at all! My sister actually tasted it, and said it’s definitely a taste only a dog could love ;-)
That is TOO stinkin cute!
Very cute! Another Watchers fan? :) Great cake idea!
Aww, so cute! Einy is the cutest dog ever :)
I take that back…it is the same recipe I used…duh!
I made my dog a bday cake too, but different recipe..your is so cute in the bone shape!!
We have a dog bakery in our town and we have gotten our dog her birthday cakes from there. They aren’t too expensive but it would be great to make one at home. She turns 5 in June. I’ll have to make this for her.
ADORABLE, plain and simple! I love how he’s looking at it like, “I can EAT that?! That’s for ME?!” :)
I love it — that is so cute! So… is it weird to ask if any humans tasted it? ;)
I love making birthday cakes for our golden retriever too! I’ll have to try your recipe for her 4th birthday in July!
Oh my gosh, I love this! My chocolate lab is turning 1 on January 31st…maybe I’ll make him this special treat. :)
Too cute!
OMG! I have a true obsession with goldens. We had 2 growing up, and I have been begging my hubby for one. We are hopefully getting our next in May or June. Einstein is adorable!! <3
What a wonderful idea, and how sweet of you! Your pup is adorable!
