Instructions

For the cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease the silicone molds and place on cookie sheets to make it easier to move them around.

Combine flour, cinnamon, and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to combine and eliminate lumps

Add the wet ingredients and stir just to combine

Mix in the grated carrot.

Spoon mixture into the lightly greased silicone molds, 

Gently tap the tray to eliminate any air pockets and smooth and push down the batter to ensure you get the cute paw print details from the bottom of the molds.

Bake for 15 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

For the Frosting

While the cakes are cooling:

  • Whisk the yogurt and cornstarch together until no lumps appear.
  • Add the peanut butter and stir to combine.

This frosting is a great consistency for piping. Frost your cakes and watch your dogs go wild!
