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).

Hi Susan Findlay, can you share your recipe? Wytmei@yahoo.com
Its it possible to substitute the liver for something else, say tuna or even sweet potato?
Yeah, those substitutes sound fine.
Thanks for the recipe! Going to have a bash at these today. I won`t have to worry about freezing them as they won`t last that long with my 2 crazy weimaraners. Greetings all from Falkirk!
Hi,
So glad I’ve found your site. I’m not a good cook but need to produce something for the Church fete – I think I will be making dog ‘cakes’ instead! Do you think the ‘pup cakes’ could be made OK in paper cup cake cases – I think that would be quite fun!
Thanks,
May
hi whats the shelf life on this one xx
Well that depends on how you store it. I freeze my dog treats but I dont have to cause I never have any last more that a few days.
Sarah as long as the tins are washed it should be fine its like making cakes for ourselves really just we wouldn’t eat them LOL!!!!!!!. Or if your like me I have my things for the dogs and things for us and washed separately
Jamie could you amend some of the recipes for us that are on gas as I have to go look see for some of them
thanks Dee
Hi Dee! I’ve never had gas so not familiar with it. What differences are you finding with gas compared to electric?
Wonderful recipes will be trying this next weekend for a birthday walk for some GSD friends – any way quick question – does the mixture come out of tin ok? You said you bought a new one does that mean its thrown away after? Wasn’t sure if you could use cupcake cases – not sure on dogs ability to eat them though…. I just don’t want to ruin my cupcake trays 🙂
Hi Sarah!
I bought the cupcake tray just to try it out, but yeah they just pop out – no mess! Have fun!
Hi Jamie
thank you! I did buy a crappy one just in case! But have to say 15 very pleased dogs with those cupcakes – they went down so very well! even with my GSD and he isn’t food orientated whilst out walking! So thank you I will attempt them again – when my stomach calms down lol a tad grusome making it in places
Thanks
Sarah
I love it! I will be making these and giving them with puppies to their new homes!
Haha! You’re not wrong but thankfully as long as it tastes good the dogs dont mind!
