Thirteen! Dexter the Dog is celebrating his 13th birthday. I am beyond grateful for all the wonderful years I’ve had with my little monkey. This year is extra special. Each day in October I will be giving Dexter something new. A new toy, healthy treat, adventure, or canine-enrichment game. You’ll have to follow us on social media to see each fun-filled day.
Today, I wanted to share with you Dexter’s healthy dog-friendly cake. Oh, yum. It’s a hit for sure. When I create a dog-safe cake, I look for not only safe ingredients, but I try to make the cake relatively healthy. It is a cake, though, and you should only feed your dog a little at a time. I like to freeze Dexter’s cake into portions, so he can have some over the next couple of months. Or, share with your doggie friends. Better yet, throw your dog a birthday party! But, on to the puppy cake recipe.
Serve small portions to your dog for a special treat.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease your pan with coconut oil.
- Remove the skin from the raw beet. Add the beet and blackberries into a blender and puree.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix until smooth.
- Pour into your greased cake pan.
- Place in oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cake to fully cool. Meanwhile, create your optional frosting.
- You will be pouring a hot liquid into silicone molds. If your molds are floppy, place the silicone mold on a cookie sheet prior to filling. Your molds will be placed in the refrigerator to cool, so find a spot before pouring. Be ready. The gelatin will start to set up very quickly.
- In a small saucepan, boil 1/3 cup of water. Once the water reaches a boil, quickly whisk in the gelatin. When the gelatin is dissolved, lower the heat and add the pureed beet and stir over the heat.
- Pour the mixture into the measuring cup. Then quickly pour the liquid into your molds. Don't fill to the top.
- Carefully place the molds into the refrigerator to set up. After your gummies are formed, carefully remove them from the mold. Once your cake is cool, it's time to move on to the healthy dog frosting recipe.
- Place egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for ten minutes. Add gelatin and boiling water and whisk for an additional five minutes.
- Carefully pour over the cake. As the mixture runs down the side, take a spatula and keep bringing the liquid to the top of the cake. It will eventually start to set up. As it starts to set up, sprinkle coconut flakes on the top and decorate the cake with your dog gummies.
