Basil goes as wild for this as liver cake - but it's easier on the human nose
Ingedients:
2 small tins of tuna (in sunflower oil, do not drain)
100g wholemeal flour (although any type works)
1 egg
2 cloves of garlic
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Spread evenly onto a baking tray (preferably one lined with greaseproof paper for ease)
Score with a knife pre cooking (as it's quite crunchy to cut afterwards)
UPDATE:
If you want to make pretty bone shaped biccies or whatever just keep adding more flour until you get a dough texture, then roll out and cut. Tastes just as yummy apparently.
Cook for 30 - 40 minutes at 180c
Cooked treats can be frozen and de-frosted

Ooh I have the stuff in the cupboard to make this.................can't stand fish but if i can pick up dog poo i'm sure i can cope with opening a couple of cans. Does it make the house stink of fish though, got a mate round for a cuppa in a bit!
I make tuna cake, though the quantities are slightly different. It does make the house smell a bit of tuna and garlic but I like the smell and I'm sure it's nowhere near as bad as liver cake.
Well Max LOVES it! Probably not quite as it should be as I only had 1 tin of tuna in oil so just added a bit of olive oil to it and it's come out crunchy on top with a squishy middle. But that's special training treats sorted for tomorrow night! Thanks for sharing!

The one I make is only one tin of tuna to 1 egg and 80g plain flour, plus garlic, so sounds similar to what you have made.
The dogs go mad for it and I put some on the bird table with the bird seed and the Robin in the garden always takes the tuna cake bits first
Well it looks a bit like if I make banana cake where it's still moist in the middle.............he loves it and I've cut it up into tiny bits for training tomorrow. Hubby came in and I was gushing about how I made Max cake and he was not impressed cos I never make him cakes and flatly refuse to have anything to do with fish, especially stinky tuna! He's a bit put out that I opened some for my baby but won't do it for him lol.

Me too! Before we got basil I wouldn't have tinned tuna (cat food as i call it) or bananas in the house because i hate the smell. But now they are basils faves.
This is definitely more guest friendly than making liver cake though. I just make sure i open the tuna last and then quickly mix it to get it in the oven.
