How To Make a Blueberry Birthday Cake for Your Pup

• Yield: 2 cakes 
• Serving size: 1/4 cake 
• Prep time: 10 minutes 
• Cook time: 15 minutes 

• 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened 
• 1/2 cup flour 
• 1 egg 
• Splash of water 
• 2 tbsp organic, plain Greek yogurt 
• 4 1/2 tsp organic cream cheese 
• 1 tbsp blueberries (plus a few to garnish!) 
• Spray cooking oil 

• Mortar and pestle 
• 3-inch round metal cookie cutter 
• 2 medium-sized mixing bowls 
• Medium pan 
• Plate 
• Spatula 
• Whisk 
• Mixing Spoon 
• Tongs 
• Butter knife 

1. Add almond milk, egg, and flour into bowl and whisk until smooth; there should be no lumps and it should resemble pancake batter consistency.  
2. Place medium pan over medium heat. 
3. Place 3-inch round cookie cutter on pan. Spray inside area of cookie cutter with non-stick cooking oil.  
4. Pour batter into cookie cutter until about 1/2 inch thick in height. 
5. After two minutes, or when bubbles start to form on the perimeter of the cake layer, remove cookie cutter with tongs. Caution: Cookie cutter will be very hot. Flip layer over with your tongs. 

6. After about one minute, remove the layer from the pan and put it on a separate plate to cool. 

7. Repeat steps 3–6 to make five more cake layers. 

8. Add blueberries into a mortar and crush with pestle until a gel forms. 

9. Add a splash of water and 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt into medium-sized bowl with crushed blueberries and mix with spoon until yogurt takes on a pink appearance. This is your frosting. 

10. Add thick layer of frosting mix to the top of one of the cake layers, then add another cake layer on top of that. 

11. Repeat step 10 so you are left with two three-layer cakes. 

12. Add organic cream cheese and remaining Greek yogurt into a new medium-sized bowl and mix with a spoon until evenly distributed. 

13. Using a butter knife, ice the outside of the cake, including the top and sides, with this mixture. 

14. Add four blueberries to the top of the cake so each slice gets a blueberry; there are four slices. 

15. Cut the cake into quarters and serve a slice to the birthday boy or girl! 

As with any treat, this homemade dog birthday cake should be served in moderation. Treats should make up no more than 10 percent of your dog’s daily calories and even less for pups who are overweight or on a veterinarian-recommended diet. 

If your dog has health concerns or dietary restrictions, check with your veterinarian before offering new foods. Sudden changes to your dog’s diet can cause digestive upset. 

Store leftover cake in the refrigerator and serve within three to four days. You can also freeze slices in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. 

For best freshness, keep your homemade dog birthday cake in an airtight dog food storage container.
