Instructions
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the liver using a blender until it's a smooth mixture. Combine the chopped liver with the egg and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix well to form a batter.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Divide the batter evenly into three 16 cm (approximately 6 inches) round cake pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, set the layers aside to cool completely.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix the soft cottage cheese with the flour until well combined. This will help to make a thicker frosting that is easy to spread. Set this aside while your cake layers are cooling.
Step 3
Once the cake layers have cooled, start with the first layer. Spread a layer of frosting on top of it, forming a border around the edge with the frosting. This will help hold the filling.
Finely grate the boiled carrots and place them inside the border. Repeat the process with the second layer, adding more frosting and carrots, then place the final layer on top.
Cover the top and sides of the cake with any remaining frosting. For a delightful touch, decorate the sides with dog-shaped biscuits and wrap a ribbon around the cake to finish.
Step 4
Your homemade dog cake is now ready to be served! Slice and present it to your furry friend on their special day or just as a delightful treat. Enjoy watching them indulge in this tasty creation that’s safe and healthy!
Servings
Equipment
This is essential for finely chopping the liver. Make sure to pulse it well so that it's smooth and easy to mix with other ingredients.
You will need three of these round pans for perfect layer cakes. Ensure they are well-greased or lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking!
A sturdy bowl is a must for mixing all your ingredients. Make sure it's large enough to accommodate everything without spilling!
Use this to spread the creamy filling evenly between the layers and to cover the whole cake. A silicone spatula works best!
Variations
Vegan Option: Use **plant-based liver** such as lentils or chickpeas, and replace the egg with a **flaxseed egg** (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). This way, your cake will be perfect for vegan pets too! 🌱🐕
