Ingredients
Egg
1 (beaten)
Peanut Butter
1/4 cup (smooth and unsweetened)
Cooking Oil
1/4 cup (neutral-flavored (like canola or vegetable oil))
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon (pure)
Honey
1/3 cup (optional for sweetness)
Carrot
1 cup (shredded)
Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup (or 1 cup of white flour as an alternative)
Baking Soda
1 teaspoon (sifted)
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Prepare a 6-cup ring mold by greasing it generously with oil or non-stick spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, peanut butter, cooking oil, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Using a whisk or mixer, blend these ingredients together until they are smooth and well incorporated.
4
Add the shredded carrots to the mixture, stirring well to combine so that the carrots are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and baking soda. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix – just enough to combine everything into a thick batter.
6
Spoon the batter into the greased ring mold, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake.
7
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9
Carefully turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving it to your furry friend.
