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.

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.
