I made this duck liver celebration cake for my dog Milo’s birthday last month. The liver smelled rich while baking, and he sat by the oven until I gave him the first piece.

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