I baked this tuna rice cake for my dog Oliver, who goes wild every time I open a can of fish. The tuna smell was strong, and he waited by the counter until I gave him the first slice.

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