How to make liver cake
This liver cake recipe is very simple to make, cheap and the perfect cake for dogs. All supermarkets sell liver so it’s easy to find, Morrisons is probably your best bet and local butchers too but if you can’t get liver you can use other ingredients for your dog cake mix, like minced beef, kidney, heart, chicken livers or even tuna! Once cooked put what you won’t be using in the next couple of days in the freezer until needed. Defrosts in just minutes once out of the freezer. You can top with cream cheese if you want to add frosting. Alternatively, instead of using a cake tin try using a cupcake tray. Check out my pupcake recipe for details. Or for a different cake recipe, try my carrot cake recipe for dogs.
Liver cake is deal as a treat, a dog birthday cake, selling at fairs etc.
We’ll be using a 9″ cake tin. You can buy online here.
Items Needed
- 9″ cake tin
- Hand Blender
Ingredients
- 500g ( 1lb) of liver
- 2 Eggs
- 200g (7oz) Wholemeal flour
- A splash of milk
Method
Step 1
Add the liver, the eggs, and a splash of milk to a jug.
Step 2
And blend it. It should look a bit like a smoothie once done.
Step 3
Transfer the mix to a large bowl and add 200g (7oz) of flour.
Step 4
Mix ingredients until it’s a thick sticky goo. You can add a bit more flour if it’s not thick enough. But it should be fine.
Step 5
Grease a cake tin with a little butter.
Step 6
Empty your mix into cake tin, making sure it’s level.
Step 7
Put cake tin into the middle of a preheated oven at 160ºC (320ºF/Gas Mark 3) and cook for about 45 mins.
Step 8
Right, it should now be cooked. Yummy!
Step 9
It’s easier to cut while it’s still warm.
Step 10
Cut into squares and fridge. Freeze what you won’t use in a few days.
If your dog is like mine, she will have watched you the entire time.
Hi there everyone I’m so pleased I’ve found this website as I have a 17yr old papillon who suffers with pancreatitis and bladder stones so I have to be Uber careful with what I can give him, he is on a vet recommended diet but treat wise he’s left really quite disappointed. So we are going to give the low fat banana biscuits ago but just looking at some of the other things on here does anyone have experience of a similar diet situation to ours who can advise those things that are ok and those that are absolutely no no,s for example can he have liver etc.? I’ve looked a supplements for him now he’s a more mature gentleman but he’s extremely picky especially if they smell funky (exactly like his mother) plus we have limited teeth now too so our days of chewing rock hard stuff is long gone sadly so any advice or suggestions would be greatly welcomed. TIA x
Thanks for this recipe. My boys drooled like mad next to me during the preparation.
I baked this in mini muffin pans. The treats fit well in the palm of your hand for training and frozen mini muffins are awesome Kong stuffers…keeps my Vizslas entertained… for little while anyway!
My Arwen never left my side as I made this and has just walked beautifully to heal with this as her reward, easy and excellent value for money high value reward treat for training and rewarding your pup’s!
Thanks, Judith, I’m really glad to hear that and glad it worked out so well.
I have been celebrating my dogs birthdays with this cake and use some mashed potato etc for frosting..and oh my do they love it!!!!! Thank you for such an easy and wonderful recipe.
