Yesterday was Felix’s Gotcha Day.
Seven years. I can’t believe that it’s already been seven years. After my super sentimental birthday letter was done, Felix got a new toy, this super awesome, ridiculously soft stuffed frog which I have christened Frogger and then, it was time for cake! If you ask me, the best part of any celebration is the cake. Too bad there was no way that I was going to sneak a bite of this one.
I made Felix a Pheasant Cake.
I’m not going to lie you guys…HE LOVED IT.
I love it too because even though making his Gotcha Day really special was super important to me, I was a little slammed for time this week. Our new canned food cake recipe for dogs is quick and easy. It’s got that meaty taste Felix loves with none of the fuss. We used a 96% Pheasant dog food as our base, but you could use any meat you like – just stick to the ones that are 90%+ meat – none of the stuff with grain, potatoes or other stuff as fillers.
Easy Canned Food Cake Recipe for Dogs
Our canned food cake recipe for dogs is quick and easy. It’s got that meaty taste dogs love with none of the fuss. We used a 96% Pheasant dog food as our base, but you could use any meat you like – just stick to the ones that are 90%+ meat – none of the stuff with grain, potatoes or other stuff as fillers.
Materials
- 1 - 13 oz. can of 95% meat (or more) canned dog food
- 1 1/2 c. Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour + 1/2 tsp. guar gum (or regular white flour)
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1/4 c. water
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300F.
Prepare silicone mini cupcake liners or silicone bundt cake pans.
Mash banana with a fork until smooth.
Stir in canned food, melted coconut oil and water.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, guar gum and baking powder.
Add flour mix a little at a time to the wet ingredients, until you have a thick paste. (It should be too thick to pour, but not thick enough to handle with your hands unless you really like to get gooey.)
Scoop the mix into your silicone molds. In order for the cake to bake through, each should hold not more than three tablespoons of batter.
Bake for 25 - 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
If you used a bundt cake pan, you can pipe canned food into the hollow space.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for 2 - 3 days only or freeze for up to three months.

I know you posted this quite a while ago, but it totally saved me tonight! My foster puppy turns 1 tomorrow, & I TOTALLY forget to either pick up a cake or cupcake, or the stuff to make one! I ALWAYS have at least a pupcake for my own girls, so didnt want foster baby to feel unloved! LOL. I'm super busy tomorrow, & wont have time to pick any thing up (her "party" has to be in between work & an evening class) & I just happened to have all the ingredients (except for guar gum, but I used egg white) Just whipped up some lovely mini bunt cakes! (I dont have time for frosting, so I sprinkled some candies in the bottom of the bunt pans, & they now have a rainbow on top!) Many thanks from me, & birthday girl Goldilocks!

Dogs do love variety in their food and if it’s a food cake then no dog will spare it. I consider it one of the most loved food that a dog loves to have in its meal. http://www.isaidsit.com/blog/do-no-harm-choose-a-safe-dog-trainer
