Super easy and fast dog cake recipe

By Bev Cobley for BDWS

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!

For these treats we are using doggy silicone moulds.

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.
