I made this duck bacon cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last month. The duck bacon made the cake rich, 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. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
