Dog food

I have a 3 year old border collie called Chip and I love baking for him!


Birthday cake:

• 1 cup white/whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/3 cup honey (optional)
• 1 egg
• Low fat cream cheese
• Carrot pieces

1. Mix the dry ingredients then add the remaining ingredients and mix
2. Bake in a greased cake tin at 175C/350F for 40 minutes
3. Ice with the cream cheese and decorate with carrot pieces (I fried the carrot to make it even more yummy! - but not so healthy)
4. *Store in the fridge*

Peanut Butter cupcakes:

• 375g wheat + gluten-free flour
• 300ml semi-skimmed milk
• 250g peanut butter (no added salt/sugar)
• 2 eggs
• 1 banana, mashed
• 4 tbsp honey
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla

1. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and divide between 20 cupcake cakes (I think I made about 10, but I may have used half the ingredients. In any case unless you have lots of dogs you will probably want to halve the ingredients anyway)
2. Bake at 160C for 15-20 minutes

• 250 low-fat cream cheese
• 125g peanut buter
• 4 tbsp olive oil

1. Combine these ingredients and beat until fluffy.
2. Transfer to a piping bag and ice each cupcake

Yes I know these cakes aren't exactly the healthiest thing in the world but I think once a year as a birthday treat is okay.

Liver cake:

• 450g lamb or ox liver
• 450g self raising flour
• 3 eggs 
• 2 cloves of garlic
• milk/water

1. Crack the eggs into a measuring jug, add an equal volume of milk/water and whisk
2. Blend the liver and garlic in a food processor. Add the egg mixture and flour and blend to a sponge mixture consistency (warning - not for the faint hearted!)
3. Pour into a baking tray and bake at 180C for 35-45 minutes
4. Allow to cool and cut into pieces (this can be frozen)
