Who says our four legged friends can’t join the chocolate cake celebrations?
While regular chocolate is a no-go for dogs, carob is the perfect pet-friendly alternative that lets you share a slice of the fun with your bestie.
In honour of Chocolate Cake Day on Monday 27th January, we've whipped up a delicious chocolate mud cake recipe that’s completely safe for dogs—made with love, and of course, carob.
Whether it’s for a special occasion or just because your pup deserves a treat, this cake is sure to get tails wagging and doesn't require much work in the kitchen.
Let’s get baking!
