I made this duck rice cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last month. The duck fat rendered into the rice, and he ate the first piece with a focus he rarely shows for dry food.

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