I made this bacon apple cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The bacon and apple made the cake savory-sweet, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.

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