OP, where are you? I am a professional horse cake taste tester, and I will be able to tell you whether or not your cake will be safe for your horse to eat.[/QUOTE]
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
If it were unsafe for herbivores, the amount of baked goods that have gone into my horse (with or without the consent of whomever was holding the stuff at the time) would have dropped an elephant.
My horse is particular about the texture of cakes at this time in his life and prefers a five pound bag of carrots or an apple pie. However, he will eat any donut that gets within a 10 foot radius of his nose.

I was just gonna buy one from the supermarket! Lol[/QUOTE]
That’s fine. The safest cake is carrot cake, with applesauce cake running a close second. BTW, I work for food.
Update:
Regular carrot cake isn’t food, apparently, but for smearing all over yourself/all over mom. Carrot cake with grain and oil on top is DELICIOUS…but frosting is not. He licked the plate for like 15 mins but mostly just succeeded in getting frosting everywhere.
He did eat all the cake though.

Too cute!!!
He wouldn’t drink soda 
I did try lol. I had some so I offered it but he just snorted in it and got it everywhere.
My friend turned to me and asked “you are aware he’s a horse, right?”

Glad this thread resurfaced 
Not carrot, but a couple weeks ago I made a pear cake, from a recipe that is about 3/4 fruit & 1/4 batter.
Most of it has languished in my fridge as if it is not chocolate, I can resist :uhoh:
I might see if any of my 3 are interested tonight.
And yes, I will try to get pics 
My horse loves Angry Orchard Hard Apple Cider. He always gets some on his birthday. His 21st is March 6th, so he will indulge with me legally now.
I would love your recipe!
My fellow is coming up on 25 in March. Time to figure out what he wants this year.
I gave him a Guinness on his 21st. He’s Irish. He turned up his nose and refused it so my trainer had the rest of the bottles. Am convinced it was a long con to get the trainer to feed him peppermints on a daily basis ever since. If that was the aim, it worked.
Carrot Cake is a complete and balanced diet
grain
fruit
veg
nuts
fats
just sayin
Perfect horse /human cake is the chopped apple quick cake you often see. The ingredients are no different than the average horse treat cookie
@Renn/aissance this is the cake - good with either apples or pears.

No pics (forgot my phone) but the Verdict was YUK! from the horses.
All 3 tried a bite, then did the reverse-osmosis-spit-it-out :disgust:
Chickens profited from their loss :nonchalance:
That’s the same idea as an apple cake I have made for years. I never thought about adding pears instead but what a great idea. To Wegmans!
My horse would eat it, too.
