- ¼ cup (60 mL) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
- Workspace Preparation: Sanitize kitchen surfaces, gather clean utensils, and position a suitable baking pan. Calibrate oven to precise temperature for optimal baking conditions.
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Meticulously sift flour, oats, baking powder, and other dry components, ensuring a homogeneous powder mixture that will provide structural integrity to the canine delicacy.
- Liquid Component Harmonization: Whisk eggs, yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and oil in a separate bowl, creating a smooth, well-integrated liquid base that promises moisture and depth of flavor.
- Batter Composition: Merge dry and wet ingredients with gentle, deliberate folding techniques, eliminating potential lumps and maintaining a consistent, velvety texture throughout the mixture.
- Pan Transformation: Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared baking vessel, using measured strokes to guarantee uniform thickness and consistent baking potential.
- Thermal Refinement: Introduce the pan into the preheated oven, monitoring the transformation carefully to prevent over-browning while ensuring complete internal cooking.
- Doneness Verification: Extract the cake when a testing implement emerges clean, signaling perfect internal structure and optimal moisture balance.
- Cooling and Frosting Preparation: Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. Simultaneously, blend yogurt, peanut butter, and honey into a silky, spreadable frosting.
- Final Embellishment: Apply the creamy frosting with artistic precision, then garnish with dog-friendly treats, shredded carrots, or scattered blueberries to enhance visual appeal and nutritional value.
