I made this sardine and spinach cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last weekend. The spinach hid in the sardine oil, and he ate the first piece without noticing the greens.

I keep the cake covered in the fridge for up to two days since fish spoils quickly. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
