So I wanted to make Charlie a cake for his second birthday, and decided to try and make something up that would rise like a cake, without using raising agents, fat or sugar. So here's the recipe if anyone is interested. The whisked egg whites give it bulk and air so it comes out looking like a cake but doesn't actually rise during baking.
This recipe is suitable for Syrians - if it's for a dwarf hamster, just leave the raisins out and put extra pumpkin seeds in or something. And a different kind of topping
Hamster Carrot Birthday cake
1 egg – separated – white and yolk
1 rounded teaspoon of finely grated carrot
2 rounded Tablespoons of porridge oats (or oatmeal) – I used a 15ml tablespoon measure
Two of these
1 rounded tablespoon of plain flour (no raising agent added)
4 raisins
4 pumpkin seeds
2 small pieces of walnut
For decoration:
Mashed banana spread on top as icing and a pecan nut, Hammy chocolate drop or similar on top.
1) Put all the ingredients except for the egg white in a bowl, and mix them together.
Hamster safe birthday cake!
