BOW WOW BIRTHDAY CAKE
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/2 cup Margarine, softened
1 Jar strained beef or liver baby food (2 1/2-ounce)
4 Eggs
3 Strips dog beef jerky, crumbled (optional)
Plain yogurt or cottage cheese, for icing
*I added shredded carrots and zucchini and used low fat cottage cheese for the icing.
1. Sift flour and baking powder together; set aside.
2. In large bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, cream margarine until smooth.
3. Add baby food and eggs; mix until smooth.
4. At low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into beef mixture until batter is smooth. Fold in beef jerky.
5. Pour batter into well-greased and floured 8"x5"x3" loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 325F oven 70 minutes.
Let cool on wire rack a few minutes before removing from pan to cool completely. Ice each slice with yogurt or cottage cheese. Yield: 1 (8") loaf cake
It's a funny thing, an aging dog. It seems that it's always right when you think they've begun the decline from their peak that they prove you've got it all wrong. Brina may be 8, but she's still full of spunk. So I guess 8 isn't so bad afterall...
