I made this duck blueberry cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last month. The blueberries burst into the duck fat, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.
Gourmet Duck Blueberry Cake Recipe for Dogs
This cake is made with wholesome ingredients that are safe and healthy for dogs, ensuring that your pet enjoys a tasty dessert without any harmful additives. It takes around 50 minutes to prepare and bake and can serve multiple dogs, depending on portion sizes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup mashed cooked duck (or duck meat puree)
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup water (if needed for consistency)
- Optional: a few tablespoons of dog-friendly yogurt for frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, and baking powder.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the mashed duck, blueberries, applesauce, and eggs until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a batter forms. If the batter is too thick, add water a little at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Let the cake cool completely before adding a yogurt frosting, if desired. Cut into slices and serve as a special treat!

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