Super easy and fast dog cake recipe

I made this recipe after babysitting my grandchild who wouldn’t eat her Nana’s food that was home-cooked. ? So we had to go get stuff in jars … and the baby wouldn’t eat that either ?. So I used the baby food and turned it into doggy cake.

Doggy sponge fingers!

By Bev Cobley for BDWS

For these treats we are using doggy silicone moulds.

INGREDIENTS

170g (6oz) self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
1 jar of baby pudding food (6 to 9 month age range)

METHOD

1. Add 170g (6oz) of self raising flour to a bowl.

2. Add a teaspoon of baking powder.

3. Add two large eggs.

4. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil.

5. Add 2 tbsp of honey.

6. Add a jar of baby food pudding to bowl – I’m using rice pudding.

7. Whip it all up to a smooth thick batter, like batter for dipping fish.

8. Grease your silicone moulds with a little butter.

9. Add your mix – underfilling a little to allow for the cake to rise.

10. Place in a preheated oven at 170c (Gas mark 5) (375f).

11. Once they begin to brown they are done – around 20 or so mins. Leave to cool.

Flo really wants one.

Old girl Ruby loves them.

Brodie loves them too.

How to store

As a general guide if meat protein is present in recipe then it will last around 3 to 5 days stored in a cool place. If it has second class protein in it eg. cheese, lentils, eggs, etc, then they will store for about 10 days in a cool place. You can use cake tins lined with baking paper – greaseproof. If there is no meat or second class proteins present then it will last around 3 weeks before they go soft like human biscuits.

I have always been told by vets that garlic should never be given to dogs. So is there something better to substitute?
