Happy Birthday Lucy! This blondie is a real sweetheart. She greets me with the kindest (yet cheekiest heart ever!) She licks, sniffs, chews and sits on you if she likes you! And for her special day, she got some doggie treats from me! :DI baked a (specially for doggie) Ca
rrot Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Something unique that I discovered when baking for dogs is most of the recipes I found contains peanut butter!Even this carrot cupcake had quite a substantial amount of PB in it. It was weird at first when I tasted it, but it's still pretty good. It uses honey instead sugar, so you get a distinct fragrant and flavour from the honey.
I got my recipe from Dog Treat Recipe Exchange. They call it Peanut Butter Delight, but because the recipe calls for more carrot than peanut butter - I decided that carrot triumphs peanut butter :P Plus! It sounds yummier to call it "Carrot Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting," rather than "Peanut Butter Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting."
Anyways, Lucy LOVED them. I was covered with spit because I held on to the cupcakes too long. haha!
The recipe called for:
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 vegetable oil
1 cup shredded carrots
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/3 cup honey
1 egg.
Very simple steps, just mix everything together and pop them into a preheated oven (180degrees) and bake for 20-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick / cake tester to ensure that it's fully cooked.
Leave cool and frost with cream cheese, mixed with a lil honey to taste. :)
Look! the Bday girl :)
