For your convenience, this dog cake recipe includes instructions for baking the cake in both a conventional oven and a microwave. If you’re short on time or prefer using a microwave, you can find step-by-step instructions at the bottom of this article.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Puppy Cake Cake Mix (we used the Birthday Cake flavor) with the egg (or applesauce), vegetable oil, and water. Stir the mixture until it’s smooth and well blended.
Place the pan in the oven, and bake for 20 to 24 minutes. Check to see if it’s done by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Step 5: Cooling
Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the icing and adding sprinkles.
Instructions for Preparing the Icing
Step 1: Mix the Icing
In a small mixing bowl, whip two tablespoons of water with the icing mix until smooth. If necessary, add a few more drops of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 2: Ice the Cake
Spread the icing onto the cooled cake immediately. Add sprinkles on top, if you’d like.
Microwave Baking Instructions
