Tips and notes
Make the cake the day before and keep it in the fridge - it cuts better and the flavours develop. Add the cottage cheese topping just before serving to keep it fresh. Grate the carrots finely rather than dicing them for a more even texture and a slightly sweet note. Mince can be swapped for turkey mince if your dog does not get on with beef.
Storage
Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can freeze the cake in portions and defrost as needed. Freeze without the cottage cheese topping and add it fresh after thawing.
Variations
- →Turkey mince instead of beef for sensitive dogs
- →Sweet potato instead of carrot for variety
- →Quark instead of cottage cheese as topping
- →Dog biscuits and mini frankfurters for decoration
Which dogs is this suitable for?
All dogs from 6 months. If your dog has a known beef allergy, use turkey mince. Adjust the portion size to your dog's weight: small dogs get a thin slice, large dogs a normal portion.
