---

Is your beloved Lappy about to hit another year? It’s time to throw a pawsome birthday bash! What better way to show your pup some love than with a homemade dog birthday cake? This tail-wagging recipe is not only easy to make, but it’s also tail-approved! So, roll up your sleeves & let’s whip up a treat your lappy will drool over.

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 large carrots)
• 1 cup whole wheat or oat flour (or gluten-free flour if your pup has sensitivities)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana for a fruity twist)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (*ensure its xylitol free and low sodium)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup neutral oil, such as avocado or light olive
• 1/3 cup vegetable/chicken broth (low sodium)

Frosting

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup peanut butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175 ºC (350º F). Grease or line two round baking trays or silicone molds for some fun pupcake shapes!
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, ¼ cup peanut butter, ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup oil, and ⅓ cup broth together. Whisk to combine all ingredients, then fold in 1 cup shredded carrots until blended. 
3. Now add 1 cup flour, then fold into the cake batter until just combined to avoid overmixing. Spoon cake batter into your desired pans or molds. 
4. Bake for 40 minutes or until each cake is fully baked in the center so a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting! In a medium bowl, add ½ cup plain Greek yogurt and ¼ cup peanut butter and stir with a fork until evenly combined. You can add a dash of honey if you think the yoghurt need a bit of sweetening. Cover, then refrigerate until the cakes are ready to be frosted.
6. When the cakes are done baking, remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack, remove baking paper and cool completely.
7. Now it's time to frost the cooled cakes and decorate! Spread this creamy goodness on top of your cooled cake for a delicious, dog-friendly frosting. Get creative with your topping ideas - make it look as special as your Finnish Lapphund deserves!​ Just make sure nothing has artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol), chocolate, raisins or grapes to keep it safe for your lappy.

The Big Reveal:
Once your masterpiece is ready, it’s time for the grand unveiling! Gather your friends (two-legged and four-legged) and watch as your lappy's eyes light up. Whether you’re throwing a birthday party or having a quiet celebration, this cake is sure to bring tail wags and happy barks.

Bonus Tips:

• Storage: If there’s any cake left over (unlikely, but just in case!), store it in the fridge for up to a week or freeze it for later doggy delights.
• Mix it up: Feel free to customise the cake by substituting the shredded carrots for mashed banana, mashed sweet potatoes, or pumpkin puree for added flavor!

Celebrate your Finnish Lapphund's special day with this simple yet delicious birthday cake. It’s not just a treat, it’s a celebration of the love and joy they bring to your life. So, let the festivities begin, and may your lappy have the happiest of birthdays! 🎈🐶❤️
