Dog Treat Recipes

Canine Birthday Cake

1/2 lb. beef liver or lean ground beef
13 oz. premium canned dog food
2 egg whites
12 oz. low factor, non fat soft cream cheese
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Preheat oven to 350o and butter a 9" round cake pan. Simmer the liver or ground beef in a little water until cooked. Cool and grind in a blender until smooth, soft paste is formed. Mix with canned dog food. Beat the egg whites to peaks and fold into the blender mixture. Blend in flour and baking powder; do not over mix. Strive to retain the lightness of the egg whites. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool and frost with the soft cream cheese. Decorate with small dog biscuits and serve to your eager party-goers!
