Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Pour wet ingredients over flour mixture, and gently stir with a rubber spatula until incorporated.

Pour batter evenly between the two prepared cake tins, and level the top of the batter.

Bake cakes on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Remove from oven, and let cool in tins on cooling racks for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling.

Whisk together greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until smooth. Keep cool in refrigerator until needed.

Assembly

When the cakes have completely cooled, level-off the tops with a serrated knife.

Place bottom layer cut side up, top with 1/3 cup frosting. Place top layer cut side down, and frost with remaining frosting.

Serve to your favorite pupper friends!

*Unsweetened is the ONLY way to go! Please do not give your canine friends ingredients with excess sugar, sugar substitutes like xylitol and other sugar alcohols. They are just not good ingredients to give to your doggos.
