Homemade Beef Liver Cake Recipe for Dogs
This cake is primarily made with beef liver, which is a great source of protein and nutrients for dogs. The cake is quick to prepare and bake, making it an excellent option for a last-minute celebration. It typically serves multiple servings depending on your dog’s size.
Ingredients
- 1 cup beef liver pureed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/4 cup beef broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots (optional)
- 1/4 cup peas (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the pureed beef liver, eggs, beef broth, and olive oil. Blend until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and oats. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in shredded carrots and peas.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Allow the cake to cool completely. You can frost it with a dog-friendly yogurt or peanut butter topping if desired.
- Serve: Slice into appropriate portions and serve to your furry friend. Ensure that the cake is at room temperature before serving.

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