Doggie Birthday Cake

Every dog has his day! Throw a birthday party for your pooch and make a cake that will have all the four-legged guests begging for more! Yesterday, my dog attended a birthday party for a canine friend of his. We had a blast.

The celebration had all the trappings of a people party -- decorations, party favors and a cake! Only this cake was chicken flavored with vanilla yogurt icing and bacon sprinkles on top. The dogs lapped it up!

I asked the party host for the recipe to share with all dog lovers on their pup's special day!

Bacon Chicken Layer Cake for Dogs

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 T. baking powder
1/2 Cup margarine, softened
6 eggs, beaten
1/2 Cup corn oil
2 jars strained chicken baby food
2 cups finely shredded carrots
plain or vanilla yogurt
2 or 3 strips of bacon, fried crisp, then crumbled, or use bacon-flavored jerky strips, cut into bits.

Steps

This recipe makes a real layer cake! Chicken, bacon and yogurt provide aromas that drive dogs crazy for this cake.
Generously grease and flour two 8" round cake pans; set aside. Combine flour and baking powder; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat softened margarine until smooth. Add eggs and corn oil; mix well. Add strained chicken, and shredded carrots and mix until smooth. Add flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Pour batter into the 2 prepared 8" cake pans. Bake at 325 F for 60 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before removing from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.
Place one layer on a serving plate and spread yogurt over top. Place second layer on top, then spread yogurt on top and sides of entire cake. Sprinkle crumbled bacon or bits of jerky strips over top. Use "Pupperoni" sticks for candles.
