I made this frozen yogurt celebration cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The yogurt froze into a creamy layer, and he licked the cake until it was a puddle.
The following recipe features dog-friendly ingredients and can be made in just a few minutes. Plus, with a simple mix of yogurt and fruit, it embodies the essence of homemade dog food recipes without any harmful additives.
Quick and Easy Frozen Yogurt Cake for Dogs
This cake is made using plain yogurt, peanut butter, and bananas, giving it a creamy and tasty texture that dogs love. The recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and is a fun way to show your pet some extra love.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)
- 1/4 cup blueberries or dog-safe fruit of choice
- A few dog-friendly treats or biscuits for decoration
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, peanut butter, and mashed banana until smooth. If using, fold in the shredded carrots and blueberries.
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a cake pan or silicone mold with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the yogurt mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for about 4-6 hours, or until the cake is completely frozen and firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, remove the cake from the pan. Let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature for easier slicing. Top with dog treats or biscuits if desired and serve it as a special celebration treat for your dog.

I store the frozen cake in the freezer for up to a week. Milo gets a small slice as a cooling treat, and the cake usually lasts us five days.
