Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray three 6-inch cake pans with non-stick spray or grease them with coconut oil.
Place ground turkey, ground beef, eggs, oats, veggies, and parsley in a large bowl. Combine well.
Divide the meat mixture evenly between the three pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and has an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the baked layers from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pans on top of a wire rack.
Frosting
Allow the cream cheese soften to room temperature.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes to boiling water and boil until tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and allow them to cool completely. Do not make the frosting with hot or warm sweet potatoes.
Using a mixer or potato masher, combine the cream cheese and sweet potatoes well, until the mixture has a smooth consistency.
Once cooled, remove one layer of the cake from the pan and place it on a serving plate or cake stand. Frost the top of the layer. Add another layer and frost the top. Add the third layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Topping
Place dog biscuits in a plastic zip-top bag and seal the bag. Use a rolling pin to roll over the bag and crush the biscuits into small pieces.
Sprinkle the dog biscuit pieces on the top of the cake.
Slice and serve.
Notes
Make sure the vegetables you use are safe for dogs to eat. Peas, carrots, zucchini, green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower are great choices.Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
