I baked this turkey bacon cake for my dog Luna’s birthday last weekend. The turkey bacon made the kitchen smell like breakfast, and she ate the first piece without hesitation.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days since bacon spoils quickly. Luna gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
