An easy carrot cake recipe for dogs – Ideal as a birthday cake
Just for a bit of fun and I know there’s quite a few people that like baking birthday cakes for their dogs. Nothing fancy in this recipe, just a simple carrot cake using a few local ingredients found anywhere and easy to make. Dogs love it and for the icing, we are using cream cheese which dogs also love. Perfect for a good dog or a special occasion.
Another idea for a dog birthday cake is my recipe for liver cake and pupcakes.
For this recipe we’re gonna be using a 9″ cake tin, if you don’t have one you can get one here.

- 4 eggs
- A splash of milk
- 1 tub of cream cheese
