Coconut-Honey Doggie Cake
Description
The Coconut-Honey Doggie Cake blends melted refined coconut oil with honey and eggs, combined with all-purpose flour to create a batter that bakes into a soft, lightly browned cake. Baking in ramekins keeps portions small and manageable, with a firm yet tender crumb. The use of plain yogurt as a topping adds moisture and a slight tang without added sugars, ideal for dogs.
Though originally the recipe suggested almond flour for a healthier option, here all-purpose flour is used for practical household considerations, without affecting the cake's texture much. The modest baking time ensures the cakes are cooked through but remain moist. Cooling in the ramekins before frosting helps maintain form and ease of serving.
This cake fits well as a special treat for dogs, providing an alternative to standard pet snacks. It can be served on occasions or as a little reward. Handling ingredients carefully to avoid any nut allergy concerns is important, depending on household needs.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 egg
- 1¾ cup all-purpose flour
- yogurt for frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 7-ounce ramekins; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey and eggs. Stir in the flour until totally absorbed.
- Divide the batter between the two ramekins and baked until lightly browned and firm when pressed in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Cool in the ramekins, then remove them and fill and frost with plain yogurt. Serve!
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour if your dog tolerates nuts, for a healthier flour option.
- Ensure the cake cools completely before applying the yogurt frosting to prevent melting.
- This recipe makes two small cakes, perfect for sharing or freezing for later use.
