I made this salmon and cottage cheese cake for my dog Luna’s birthday last month. The cottage cheese made the cake creamy, and she ate the first piece without hesitation.

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