Happy 1st Birthday Einstein!
Tomorrow marks Einstein’s 1st birthday, and I thought we would celebrate today by giving him a birthday cake to enjoy :) Einstein managed to inhale his piece of cake in under 3 seconds, so I think he was pleased with his first birthday cake.
Here are some pictures of the birthday boy enjoying his cake:
Peanut Butter Banana Cake for Dogs
(Adapted from Just the Recipes)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey
1 egg
Mix flour and baking soda. Add remaining ingredients and mix together. Pour into greased 8″ (I used 9″) round cake pan and bake at 350 degree F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool. Puree cottage cheese or fat free cream cheese for icing.
Thats SO funny! The pics of him eating the cake is hilaious! So cute you made him his own cake! :)
Thanks Katie! He’s a cutie :)
Oh my gosh!! I just want to hug Einstein.. what a cutie!! This is too funny… Love it!
Haha thanks Aud! You’ll have to come visit and give him a squeeze :)
Oh my gosh, this is too cute! It sure looks like he enjoyed it :)

Look at my little nephew!! I miss him around here :(
I can’t believe he’s 1 already. All grown up.
He misses you too, I promise :)
Fantastic!!! Our wee pup will be 1 in a couple of weeks too and I was going to make him a cake!

Hi Hon….I’m just getting caught up and love the added pics of my baby grandpuppy. I miss him and can’t wait until he comes to stay at Nanna’s.
what a cute little puppy or big puppy he is and what a wonderful recipe great for our hairy or not so hairy babies maybe ill try it when my westy turns two
This is great. I made Dog friendly ice cream for our Golden’s birthday last summer. It too was PB and Banana with yogurt. She went crazy for it. Now she can have cake on her next birthday :)
My Chief’s 4th birthay is in 2 weeks!
I’d recommend leaving out the vanilla, as dogs just aren’t going to notice the difference, and replacing the veg oil with coconut oil. It’s very healthy for dogs just as it is for humans!
Is there any difference in all purpose flour and the whole wheat flour?
Hi Candace, The whole wheat flour is generally better for them, but in terms of how it comes together and is baked, you could use all-purpose.
I just want to thank you so much for all of your wonderful recipes. Our first baby Lily (Mini Schnauzer) is going to be celebrating her first birthday soon and we have been looking for good cake recipes; thanks to you we found them.
Made for my 3 dogs today. They loved it! Easy to make & smells so good :)
Making this for my pup today, its her 1st birthday and wanted to make a dog friendly cake/treat for her and her guests.
I am making this tomorrow for Gage’s 1st Birthday! It sounds delicious, I think I might have a slice lol. Thanks for the receipe!
My dog loves the treats I get from your site! Thanks, Tracie
The pictures of the dog sitting at the table are hilarious. It’s funny how they seem to have a personality all their own. The dog bone recipe with only four ingredients is getting book marked. Thanks for the share!
Can I substitute coconut flour, brown rice flour, sweet rice flour or rice flour for whole wheat flour?
Hi Caitlyn, I haven’t tried any of those subs, but I think they SHOULD work.
