Betty White’s Birthday Cake

Betty White turned 10 years old, recently. Birthdays are always special around the Arner household, but this one, was extra special. We have always had a birthday celebration for Betty, and our previous pets, so needless to say, you can’t have a birthday celebration without a birthday cake.

There are a few pup bakeries in our area, where I (Shannon) have purchased cakes from in the past, but in the most recent years, I have enjoyed baking Betty’s birthday cake, since I can tailor it to her specific fave flavors, and I also feel like I am giving her a bit of love with making something with my own hands, rather than delegating that special task to someone else.

Betty’s cake is easy-peasy to make, and so I thought I would share it with you. You can make this as-is, for a pup birthday, or you can make a cake and cut it into treats. Note, there are no preservatives in this (that’s a good thing), so it will not last as long as your store bought treats, so I recommend keeping the recipe to this portion, and not doubling, unless you are feeding multiple dogs.

Betty White's birthday cake

You will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup of pureed apples (or finely chopped, pups love the chunks)
  • 1/2 cup of pumpkin baby food

Super easy instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350.
  • First combine the flour and baking soda.
  • Then, add the egg, olive oil, peanut butter, apples, and pumpkin. Mix well.
  • Pour into lightly greased cake pan (I use a round pan).
  • Cook for 25 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

Decorating:

  • Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the cake. I have added water to the peanut butter so it remains a thinner icing.
  • Decorate the top with treats, candles, or whatever your heart desires. I have used cut apples before to line the outside circle of the cake, which makes for a cute décor. You can also use an icing bag and tip to decorate with peanut butter flowers.
  • Get creative! Your pup will appreciate your effort. 😊

There you have it! Betty White’s easy-peasy birthday cake! You will most definitely get the question of whether or not humans can eat it, and you definitely can, but without the sugar, it may not be what you would expect from cake, so try it if you must, but it’s really for the pup’s pallet.

About arneradventures

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

🎙️
Elaine Mercedes Mendoza left her safe corporate job in 2015 to pursue a happier life with more freedom. Since then, she has traveled to so many cities and countries around the world that she has lost count. She is a Contributing Author in “Time to Rise” where she was featured and called a “Change-Maker” by The Gandhi Foundation in 2017.
🎙️
We found Elaine through her TED Talk “The Power of Labels to Change Your Story.” Her world travels have served as a classroom to help her heal the labels that were once in control of her life and that is very possibly affecting yours and helps us become aware of our own labels that hold us back and the stories we tell ourselves about others.
🎙️
We chat with Elaine about:
☑️How Elaine pivoted to a path of minimalism to pursue travel.
☑️The most important lessons Elaine learned from traveling and meeting different people.
☑️Elaine discusses the power of labels and her experience with them throughout her life.
☑️What inspired Elaine to share her story around travel and minimalism, and her upcoming novel “Humanized–Life Beyond Labels”.
☑️Elaine answers our “Fast 5 Questions” and the question we ask all of our guests, “What does a life well lived mean to you?”

Elaine exudes inspiration and hope for humanity! We hope you tune into this conversation— we know you will love it!
