Equipment

  • 6-inch round cake pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Rubber spatula
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Piping bag or offset spatula (optional, for frosting)

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed, about 3/4 cup — the riper and more spotted, the better
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter xylitol-free, smooth or crunchy
  • 2 large eggs

Greek Yogurt Frosting

  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt strained if thin, for a thicker, pipe-able consistency

Instructions
 

Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with a light coating of coconut oil or non-stick spray and line the bottom with a small circle of parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth with minimal lumps.

Make the Batter

  • Add the peanut butter and eggs to the mashed banana. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
  • Fold in the whole wheat flour and stir just until no dry flour streaks remain. Do not overmix — stir until just combined for the best texture.

Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely — at least 30 minutes — before frosting.

Frost and Decorate

  • Once the cake is fully cooled, spread or pipe the plain Greek yogurt evenly over the top and sides of the cake. For a thicker, pipe-able frosting, strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve for 20–30 minutes in the fridge before using.
  • Decorate with a dog bone treat, blueberries, or small carrot pieces on top. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to present to your pup!

Notes

⚠️ ALWAYS use xylitol-free peanut butter — xylitol is toxic to dogs. Check the label every time.
🐾 Portion guide: Small dogs (<20 lbs) — a thin sliver. Medium dogs (20–50 lbs) — one standard slice. Large breeds — one generous slice.
❄️ Storage: Keep frosted cake refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not leave at room temperature for more than 2 hours due to the yogurt frosting.
🌾 Gluten-free swap: Replace whole wheat flour with certified gluten-free oat flour in a 1:1 ratio.
🎃 Pumpkin boost: Stir 2 tablespoons of plain canned pumpkin purée into the batter for extra fiber and gut support.
