-Sweet potato puree:¼cup

-Rice cereal:1 tsp

Instructions

Step 1:Prepare Tools

Line a small baking dish with parchment paper for easy handling and cleaning later.

Step 2:Prepare Ingredients

Place the drained salmon chunks in a medium bowl and mash them into small pieces using a tool.Add chopped cooked chicken and mashed sweet potato,mix thoroughly,then add rice flour and continue mixing until the ingredients are combined into a thick batter.

Step 3:Pressing and Shaping the Cake Dough

Take a 3-inch(approximately 7.6 cm)round mold and lightly grease the inside(for easy unmolding).Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Spoon 1/3 cup of the salmon mixture into the mold and gently press it down with your fingers to create an even layer of dough.Carefully remove the mold and repeat the process until all the ingredients are pressed into dough.Refrigerate the baking sheet for 15 minutes to allow the dough to set.

Step 4:Assembly and Decoration

Remove the set dough and begin assembling the cake:Place one dough piece in the center of a small plate,spread a layer of peanut butter(if using)evenly on top,then cover with another dough piece to create a double-layer structure.Pour plain yogurt over the top of the cake,allowing it to drip down the sides for a decorative effect.This completes the cake making process.

**Important Notes:**

*When purchasing yogurt and peanut butter,always carefully check the ingredient list.Never choose products containing xylitol.Xylitol is an artificial sweetener commonly added to these foods.Even small amounts can cause serious health damage and poisoning symptoms in cats.

**Storage Method:**

Leftover salmon cake dough can be frozen until completely solidified.Then transfer it to a sealed freezer bag,label it with the production date,and store it in the freezer.It can be stored for up to 3 months.Before feeding,thaw the cake and ensure it is at a suitable temperature for your cat.
