Thanksgiving Day Dog Treat Cake

Thanksgiving Day Dog Treat Cake

(adapted from the Birthday Cake for Pups recipe on bullwrinkle.com)

Makes: 2 mini loaf cakes or 1 regular loaf cake

This Thanksgiving we couldn't forget those who we're most thankful for and my furry babies definitely make that list. 

I wanted something bland but with all the excitement and warm comfort of a full Thanksgiving meal so I decided to make them a cake that would combine all of our favorite flavors.

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup butter (softened)

½ corn oil (I used vegetable)

8 ounces turkey gravy

4 eggs

plain mashed potatoes (no seasoning)

Directions:

Set your oven to 325 degrees.

Spray two mini loaf pans (or one regular sized loaf pan) with Pam. I used the baking one with flour to make it less greasy.

Microwave butter in a small bowl until soft.

In a large bowl, mix together the butter, oil, turkey gravy, and eggs until combined.

Add in flour and baking powder, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

Evenly distribute the batter into the loaf pans.

Place a large cookie sheet with raised sides on the rack underneath the cakes, this will catch any leaking or overflowing oils.

Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Cool completely and frost with mashed potatoes.

Store covered in refrigerator.

Slice as needed and microwave for 15 seconds to give your furry friend a warm holiday meal!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us!

Enjoy!
