I made this double meat celebration cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The beef and turkey layers made the cake filling, and he ate the first piece before I could take a photo.
Delicious Double Meat Dog Cake Recipe
This Double Meat Celebration Cake features layers made with ground beef and chicken, mixed with healthy ingredients like pumpkin and oats. The recipe takes about 60 minutes from start to finish and serves multiple doggy guests, making it perfect for parties.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ground beef
- 1 cup ground chicken
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: Dog-friendly frosting (like yogurt or peanut butter) for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare 2 round cake pans by greasing them or lining with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground chicken, pumpkin puree, rolled oats, eggs, chicken broth, peanut butter, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, frost the cakes with dog-friendly frosting.
- Serve: Once fully cooled, stack the two layers on top of each other and serve a slice to your furry friend, reserving the rest for special occasions or pup guests.

I keep the cake covered in the fridge for up to three days. Milo gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
