Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed)

For the Gender Reveal Color (Natural Options):

  • For pink: 1–2 teaspoons beet powder

  • For blue: 1–2 teaspoons blueberry powder (finely ground, dried blueberries)

Optional Frosting:

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

How To Make

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small round cake pan or silicone mold.

  2. In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder.

  3. Add peanut butter, applesauce, egg, and yogurt. Stir until combined. Add water slowly if the batter is too thick.

  4. Divide a small portion of batter into a separate bowl. Mix in either beet powder (pink) or blueberry powder (blue).

  5. Pour half of the plain batter into the pan. Add the colored batter in the center. Cover with remaining plain batter.

  6. Bake for 22–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. Let cool completely before frosting.

  8. Mix yogurt and peanut butter for frosting and spread lightly on top.

  9. For extra fun, bake small bone-shaped treats with leftover batter to decorate the cake.

How To Store

  • Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

  • For longer storage, slice and freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.

  • Keep bone-shaped treats in a sealed container in the fridge for freshness.
