for the cake
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2/3 cup flour (whole wheat or all-purpose work!)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
for the frosting
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
for the cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 6 inch round cake pans. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin, peanut butter, and oil together until well mixed. If you’re using a stand mixer, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the flour and baking powder and use a rubber spatula to fold together until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
for the frosting
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the yogurt and peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Once the cakes have cooled frost them. If you would like a two layer cake, you can leave the two cakes as is. If you would like a 4 layer cake, use a long serrated knife to cut each layer in half. Place one half down on a cake stand or plate and spread a thin layer of “frosting.” Place the next layer on top and repeat until all layers are assembled.
- Celebrate your pup and enjoy!
