Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take a 6-inch cake pan or a regular baking pan, line it with parchment paper, and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, peanut butter, oil, applesauce, eggs, and honey in a bowl until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
Step 3: Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely before decorating.
Step 4: To make frosting, beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form
Step 5: Decorate the cake with frosting as desired. You can double the amount of frosting and slice the cake horizontally in half to create a 2 layer cake.
Step 6: Decorate by placing mini dog bone treats around the edges and topping the cake with paw-shaped dog treats for a fun and festive look.
