I baked this beef harvest cake for my dog Oliver’s October birthday. The beef and fall vegetables made the cake hearty, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.

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.
