What’s more festive or celebratory than a decadent cake? We can’t imagine a birthday or holiday without one, and sharing these moments with our cats shouldn’t be an exception! For dedicated cat owners, we figured it was time to whip one of these irresistible cat desserts fitting for any feline. These may not be your average cakes, as our cats don’t appreciate sweets quite as much as we do, but rest assured, each of these will be a hit with your cat at every holiday or birthday!
While these cakes are delicious, they are only meant to be offered on special occasions. Some cats are sensitive to wheat, so we recommend substituting rice flour to avoid this problem and reduce the number of carbohydrates. You can add egg white to the recipe to help the cake bind together, which will add to the protein content of the cake, making it even more appealing to your little carnivore!
