The Beagle Boys Turn Three Years Old

8-Mar-10: Feargal, Fergus, and Fredrik turn three years old. How time flies!

Edit: Here’s the recipe for the cake (I skipped the carob chips and the frostings. They wolfed it down so fast, they didn’t know something was missing):

Banana Carob Chip Dog Birthday Cake

• 2 cups water
• 2 ripe bananas
• 1/8 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 Tbs baking powder
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbs honey
• 1/2 cup carob chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)

2. In a mixing bowl combine water, bananas, vanilla, egg and honey.

3. Add whole wheat flour and baking powder. Mix well.

4. Pour mixture into an 8-inch cake pan sprayed with a nonstick spray.

5. Sprinkle carob chips on top.

6. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Decorating suggestion:

Make both the Cinnamon and Carob frostings (below), then ice the cake with one, and use the other as a decorative trim.
