Rā Whānau Billy! Keke Recipe🎂🎉

Billy's First Birthday Party

October 16 marked a pretty special day in our whare - our boy Billy turned one!

We celebrated with a little party fit for the bestest little man: some bones from the butcher, a brand new tug toy, and a homemade keke just for him. Add in a long beach run, and it was pretty much the perfect first birthday for our mate.

Here’s the recipe we used for Billy’s birthday cake - simple, dog-friendly, and a huge hit!

Keke for the Birthday Boy!

🐾 Dog Birthday Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 45g ground oats (½ cup)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 carrot, grated

• 1 banana, mashed

• 70g peanut butter (¼ cup)

• 1 large egg

Frosting

• 140g plain Greek yogurt (½ cup)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Line two 4-inch cake tins with baking paper.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour and baking powder.

4. Add the grated carrot, mashed banana, peanut butter, and egg to the dry ingredients.

5. Mix until just combined.

6. Spoon the mixture into the lined cake tins and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool completely before spreading on the greek yogurt in place of frosting. Decorate however you like (we used berries!) - just remember to make sure everything is dog-safe! 🐶
