sponge finger recipe for dogs

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.

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.
