I made this sardine power cake for my dog Luna’s fourth birthday after reading about the benefits of oily fish. The sardines mashed into the batter, and she ate the first piece before I could take a photo.

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