Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (not the spiced pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or a gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water (if needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and vegetable oil until well blended.
  3. Add in the eggs and mix thoroughly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add water as needed for consistency.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, decorate with carob chips or dog-friendly frosting if desired, and serve to your furry friend!
