Dogs bring so much joy into our lives. The least you can do to repay your dog is showing her how much you also love her, especially on her birthday. Birthdays are always special for us, so why shouldn't they be special for our furry friends too? Even if you don't know what day your dog was born, feel free to pick one from your calendar and go all our for your pet.

Cakes have always been a permanent fixture in birthday celebrations everywhere and it should be the same for pets. There are many types of cakes you can make for your dog, some of which don't even require you to turn on your oven. The following are 8 easy no bake dog cake recipes that you can try:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of rolled oats
• 1-2 ripe bananas
• 1 tablespoon of ground sunflower seeds
• 100 grams smoked tofu
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• ½ cup of plant milk (or you can use vanilla soy milk)
• sliced cucumber and coconut for decoration

Directions

• In a food processor or blender, pulse oats until oat flour forms.
• Blend in bananas and milk in oat flour until smooth pancake batter.
• Preheat a nonstick pan over medium heat. If your pan isn't nonstick, grease it with coconut oil.
• Using a small spoon, add the pancake’s batter to the hot pan and cook for about 2 minutes from both sides.
• You'll probably wind up with about 4-5 small pancakes. Allow them to cool completely.
• For frosting, start blending or processing the tofu and tahini in a blender or food processor. Add about a third of a cup of milk at a time, till it attains a thick, hummus-like texture.
• To put the cake together, place a dab of tofu frosting on a plate, followed by a pancake. Spread some tofu and tahini frosting on the first pancake, then top with the second. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
• Don’t assemble more than 5-6 small pancakes for making a cake. Furthermore, ensure that all of the ingredients are cold so that they don't melt together. 
• Use the leftover tofu cream to frost the sides of the cake. Lastly, decorate the cake with cucumber and coconut slices.
