K-9 Carob Pup Cake

We love our furry four-legged friends as much as we love our two-legged family members! I cook for them quite often. I make them healthy high protein dishes and for the first time, I made Zelda, our cute dog in the picture her very own pup cakes. This recipe comes from a friend who is also involved with the Taste of Home Magazine. There are a number of us in the group that make our furry friends food and treats, so you just may be seeing some animal recipes in the magazine now and then. This recipe made 10 pup cakes and can be frozen.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup of honey
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 3 Tablespoons carob powder. DO NOT USE COCOA AS CHOCOLATE IS TOXIC TO DOGS
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup of warm water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all of the ingredients together by hand. Grease a muffin tin and fill them half full. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.

These are full-size pup cakes, so if you are serving a small dog such as Zelda a 1/4 of the cake is just right. I hope your pup enjoys these as much as Zel.

Enjoy!
