Ingredients
Cake
Flax Egg
Optional: Decorative additions like dog treats, blueberries and crushed peanuts
Instructions
Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray or grease 2 6” round cake pans.
  2. To prepare flax egg, combine flaxseed meal and water. Let sit 5 minutes or until congealed. Set aside until ready to add wet ingredients.
  3. In medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
  4. Add wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  5. Divide batter equally between pans and tap gently to spread and remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each comes out clean.
  7. Let rest in pan one minute before turning out onto wire rack to cool.
Frosting
  1. Puree blueberries until smooth.
  2. In stand mixer, combine instant potato flakes and 1/2 cup warm water. Mix until combined. (Note: Consistency will be crumbly.)
  3. Add yogurt, blueberry puree and 2 Tbsp. water. Blend until creamy and smooth. (Note: You’ll want this to be the consistency of regular cake frosting.)
  4. Frost cake as desired and garnish with dog treats, fresh blueberries and crushed peanuts.
Recipe Notes

Frosting Flavor & Color

  • For a deeper purple and more blueberry flavor, replace 2 Tbsp. water with more blueberry puree.
  • For pink, swap out blueberries for strawberries. Add a bit of beet powder to deepen pink to red.
  • Smashed banana can replace blueberries, but add a little water in order to achieve frosting consistency.
  • For yellow, adding 1/4-1/2 tsp. turmeric.

Shelf-life & Storage

  • Store cake in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for 2+ months.
