If you prefer, you can spoon the batter into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Cool and cut into squares then freeze.
Apple Variation - replace minced carrot with a grated apple
This is a variation based on a Liver Cake Recipe by Claire Paulson. While having lunch, I dropped a chunk of blue cheese. All the dogs came running . So I tossed the blue cheese in to the liver batter, added a few things and a new favourite was created.
