I baked this beef rice celebration cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday party with his dog friends. The beef and rice made the cake filling, and he ate the first piece before the other dogs arrived.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
