Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 6-cup ring mold or fluted tube pan with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, peanut butter, oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.
Stir in the shredded carrots using a spoon or spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the wet ingredients.
Sift the flour and baking soda over the mixture and fold them in gently until just combined.
Spoon the thick batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes to firm up, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

To ensure the best shelf life, store individual slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. For an even softer texture that is easier for senior dogs to chew, you can lightly steam and mash the carrots before adding them to the batter.
