Title: Liver Cake
Post by: Mary on September 20, 2003, 02:36:49 PM: At last I decided to make Lottie some liver cake...it's not long been out the oven and she's been sat whining for it in the kitchen whilst it's been cooling ::)

After giving into her, I have to say it's gone down a treat :D

Unfortunately, it may be the last time as at one stage I thought I was going to throw up with the smell :o :P Foul!!!!!

So, a tip for anyone wanting to make any is make as much as you can in one go so that you don't have to suffer it too often (luckily, I made double the recipe). I shall follow Pammys tip from an old thread .... cut some into small treats and pop back into the oven to crispen and put them in an airtight container, nice one Pammy ;)

Oh....if anyone's brave enough here's the recipe again:

8oz lamb liver
4oz SR flour
2 eggs
2 cloves of garlic

Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth, pink and runny (or not so much if require chunkier). Pour into greased swiss roll tin and put in the oven Gas 4 for 30-40 minutes. Leave to cool and cut into bite size pieces.

:-X :-X ;)

I also make double the amount and when it's cooled and cut up, I bag it up about 10 pieces in each one and freeze it. I then just have to get a bag out now and again. I think he's even recognised the bags cause he is glued to my side and is ultra good, waiting for a piece ;D ;D

Post by: daftcockers on September 21, 2003, 02:21:09 PM: Saw the recipe for liver cake a few months ago, so hubbie decided to make the boys some (bad move), whilst blending the liver he forgot to put the lid on, what a mess!!!!

But he didnt give up (unfortunatly). I do have to say the boys did enjoy it but what a mess he made and I had to clean up after him.

This recipe seems quick & easy compared to that lol. I just wondered if the garlic was really necessary, cant bear the thought of being slobbered over by a puppy that reeks of garlic & liver!!!

Post by: Colin on October 01, 2003, 10:05:44 PM: Well I actually went out and bought a blender today, no pinny though. ::)

As for the garlic.....surely that is only necessary for Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens , French bulldogs etc ? ??? Tomato Ketchup for our English Cocker Spaniels. ;D
