Birthday cake recipe, dog friendly

[Piper's mom]

I found this recipe online when looking for a cake recipe for Finnie's birthday.
Substituted pumpkin for the banana and peanut butter (out of both) and used less water. I had enough batter to fill a 6" cake pan and with extra batter I added more oatmeal (I used ground oats) and made dog cookies to decorate the sides.
I also put skewers and toothpicks in some of the unbaked cookies that I will use to decorate the cake after.
We'll see how it all comes together for his birthday on Friday. To ice it I'm going to use Greek yogurt that I'm straining and will add meringue powder to stabilize.

I can't wait to see how it turns out too Gloria!
If anyone makes they're own yogurt, that's my yogurt strainer to the right of the cake and cookies. Works great to strain even store bought yogurt (I like mine thick).

That cake looks so cute!
I tried using bananas this time (as Fil loves them), instead of pumpkin. I ran overripe ones thru the food processor, then froze the mash till I baked. Worked out pretty good. I used cream cheese & peanut butter icing.
Hey maybe it was the banana that caused him to lose his mind and eat his cake before he was supposed to!
