OK.
OK.
Good boy.
Hey guys, I'm Danielle.
Welcome back to
Handmade at home.
Yes, that's right.
Welcome to my kitchen.
I've been staying safe now
with my two dogs and my husband
for about three weeks.
To be honest, we're all going a
little crazy in trying to find
creative ways to keep busy.
One way that always helps me
de-stress and pass the time
is baking.
This weekend I made
banana bread and my dogs
were clearly disappointed that
we didn't share with them.
And that got me thinking
they deserve a treat too.
They miss going to the dog
park and socializing as much
as I miss seeing my friends.
So today I'm going to
show you how to make
a pupcake Let's get started.
We're going to get started with
a 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.
One fourth cup oats.
One teaspoon baking powder.
One fourth cup
unsweetened applesauce.
Two tablespoons pumpkin.
Two tablespoons vegetable oil.
One large egg.
And one shredded carrot.
Now whisk it all together.
I have a great hack for you
guys to keep things simple.
We're going to reuse
our pumpkin can.
And as a bonus, it makes
an adorable pupcake size.
Lightly coat pumpkin
can in cooking spray
so it doesn't stick.
Now you're ready to bake.
Bake at 350 for
about 40 minutes.
While the pupcake
is baking, we're
going to quickly put together
a frosting your dog will
love with only two ingredients.
All you'll need is a
half a cup Greek yogurt
and two tablespoons
ground peanuts.
Mix that all together and it
makes such a pretty frosting.
Now let's set that aside
until the cake is done.
Make sure not to take
the cake out of the can
until it's cool
enough to handle.
If you find that it's not
coming out easily, have no fear.
Just take a knife
and move it around
and that will make it
come out much easier.
The pupcake is looking
adorable already.
Let your cake cool
completely before frosting.
Now let's be honest, my dog
could care less what this looks
like, but I work for Handmade.
And as you know we can be a
little extra, just a little.
So I'm going to make
this a double layer cake.
Now that the cake has cooled
I'm going to carefully cut
the pupcake in half and
place the first layer
on the cake stand.
Next, add a layer of icing
to glue the top layer on.
Now we have a double layer cake.
The last step is simple.
Just frost your cake.
Remember your dog doesn't
care what this looks like.
Just do your best.
For a final touch I'm going
to add a little bone on top
and a few around the bottom.
They're really good boys.
They deserve it.
Well guys, I think this
pupcake turned out super cute.
I can't wait to
give it to my dogs.
