Had to follow up the adorable Southwestern party we posted this morning with this little gem. A recipe to make your own puppy cake! And it looks kind of tasty. Is that weird?

To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1. Sift together the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
2. Using me a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the applesauce, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture add a time; alternate with 1/2 of the milk. Mix each addition just until combined. Divide the batter evenly into three greased and floured 6″ cake pans. You can also use two pans, but note that the layers will be thicker and may require a longer baking time.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes– cake should be lightly browned, spring back gently when touched, and a toothpick should come out clean when inserted. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow the cakes to cool down completely before frosting.

To make the frosting:
1. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat all ingredients just until well combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides once or twice.
2. Frost the cake in between layers and on the outside as desired. Or however you like!

Maybe it’s just us, but couldn’t you just make this cake for your kiddos too? Sounds like the perfect first birthday cake!

Would you die if we told you this was a 1st birthday party… for a puppy?! We don’t normally post pet content over here on Cakelet, but this little party is so cute we couldn’t resist! So many good ideas for any one year old, human or otherwise.

There are plenty of cakes at this party, including one for the pups in attendance in particular. And if you check back later today we’re sharing the recipe too!

All of the Love Party Society girls are dog fanatics, so they were inspired to put together a styled shoot celebrating a doggy birthday party. Using the “man’s best friend” adage, they put a masculine spin on a Southwest-ish party for the birthday “boy”.  BBQ, sodas, lots of creative details, and even a Photo Booth with props. Yep.

Amazing florals, huh?

And those little crocheted cactus favors?!

It’s out of control, right? But it’s just soooooo cute! Thanks so much much having a birthday party, Phoenix! And amazing work to all involved.

Don’t forget to check back later this afternoon for the puppy cake recipe too!
