How can prepare a Dog Cake Recipe
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Baking Time: 2 hours to cook and 30 minutes to cool
Assembling Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- One box of Krusteaz yellow cake mix.
- One package of chocolate pudding mix (instant).
- 2 cups water.
- 3 eggs.
- ¼ cup vegetable oil.
- One cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional).
- ½ cup peanut butter.
- ½ cup of chopped dog food or treats (optional).
- ¼ cup of chopped peanuts (optional).
- One cup of yellow cake mix (for garnish).
- 2 cups of frosting.
Equipment:
- 1 large mixing bowl.
- 2 large spoons.
- 1 12-inch springform pan.
- One small mixing bowl for chocolate pudding mix and eggs.
- One medium-sized mixing bowl for cake batter and peanut butter mix (optional).
- One large mixing bowl and 1 large spoon or spatula.
- One cake decorating bag or a large plastic zip-lock bag.
- Wire cooling rack.
- One small knife or spoon.
- Large grater.
- Baking sheet.
Direction:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Mix the ingredients for peanut butter mix in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
Step 3: Put cake mix in a large mixing bowl and ensure ingredients are mixed well. Make sure that there are no lumps or dry ingredients left over at the bottom of the mixing bowl.
Step 4: Divide the peanut butter mixture into small bowls depending on the size of your dog, and put them in a good portion of a large mixing bowl. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, it is a good idea to mix the peanut butter mix in another bowl.
Step 5: Add 1 egg to a small mixing bowl or two whole eggs and beat them together with a large spoon or spatula. Do not use electric beaters as they will cause pieces of eggshell in your cake. If you have over-beaten the egg whites, they can be scraped away with a knife before mixing in the other ingredients.
Step 6: Add the egg and peanut butter mix to the bowl with the cake mix.
Step 7: Add oil and water to a large mixing bowl or medium mixing bowl if you use another small mixing bowl for peanut butter mix. Make sure ingredients are mixed well together with a spatula or spoon.
Step 8: Grate ½ cup of dog treats (optional) and add them to the cake batter in a large mixing bowl. Be careful not to add too much at once, as they can cause lumps in your cake batter.
Step 9: Pour the cake batter into the springform pan and use a knife to split the batter into two halves. Wrap a baking sheet around the cake pan to create air pockets and ensure enough distance between lumps of batter.
Step 10: Sprinkle half the chocolate chips on top of the cake and spread them evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Step 11: Pour peanut butter mix on top of the chocolate chips and spread it evenly with a spoon.
Step 12: Put 2 cups of frosting on the peanut butter mix. Spread it across the outside of the cake with a spoon or spatula. You may need to refrigerate the cake after frosting to make it hold together better when you remove it from the springform pan.
Step 13: Pour the remaining chocolate chips on top of the frosting.
Step 14: Grate 2 cups of yellow cake mix on top of chocolate chips and spread it evenly with a spoon or spatula. If you have overspread the frosting, you can easily scrape it off with a knife.
Step 15: Cut a piece of wire cloth long enough to reach around your cake and put it in the springform pan before setting the cake in the fridge.
Step 16: Once your cake is set up and has cooled, place it in a plastic zip-lock bag and squeeze it closed.
Step 17: Refrigerate the cake in the bag for 2 hours. After 2 hours, remove the wire rack from the cake and cut a piece of paper to fit around it to make removing the cake easier.
Step 18: Peel off the paper and wrap another piece of wire rack around the bottom of the cake.
Step 19: Remove the springform pan from around the cake and place it on your kitchen counter to cool for a half hour. Please do not put it in the refrigerator as it will cause condensation in your cake.
Step 20: Remove the cake from the zip-lock and put it on a clean serving plate. And enjoy it.
