I baked this rabbit and zucchini cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last weekend. The zucchini kept the cake moist, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.
It’s a fantastic way to celebrate special occasions or just to show your pet some love. The recipe is easy to follow and ensures your dog enjoys a tasty and wholesome cake made specifically for their dietary needs.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us four days.
