Liver cupcake recipe for dogs

I was seeing a new client today, so afterward I nipped into Morrisons to get some shopping and for fun, I bought the ingredients for liver cake.  I'd been thinking about trying to cook the liver cake in a cupcake tray rather than a big cake.  So I bought a cupcake tray for £1 and thought I may as well blog my attempt to make ... liver pupcakes!  Oh and just for fun I bought some cream cheese to use as frosting.  These are great and make great treats, gifts and cakes to sell at fairs etc.

Let's do this!

Ingredients

Ingredients: 500g (1lb) of liver, 200g (7oz) of wholemeal flour, 2 eggs, splash of milk & cream cheese (if you want frosting).

Notes

How to store

As a general guide, if meat protein is present in the recipe, then it will last around 3 to 5 days stored in a cool place. If it has second-class protein in it, e.g., cheese, lentils, eggs, etc, then they will store for about 10 days in a cool place. If there is no meat or second-class proteins present, then it will last around 3 weeks before they go soft like human biscuits.
