Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bisquick baking mix | 2 cups |
| Cornmeal | 2 cups |
| Whole wheat flour | 1 cup |
| Baking powder | 2 tablespoons |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Baby food | 3 jars |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cake will bake evenly.
-
Prepare pan: Heavily grease a 9″x13″ cake pan. Greasing the pan prevents the cake from sticking, ensuring easy removal.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick baking mix, cornmeal, whole wheat flour, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add wet ingredients: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Then, add the baby food. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly moistened.
-
Note: The batter will be thick and heavy, which is perfectly normal for this recipe.
-
Pour batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. Cooling ensures that the cake sets properly.
-
Cut into cubes: Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the cake into birdie nibble-sized cubes.
-
Storage: These cakes freeze extremely well, so feel free to store them in the freezer for later use. They thaw fairly quickly when needed.
Enjoy: Serve these healthy cake cubes to your cockatiels as a tasty treat that’s packed with wholesome ingredients. Watch them chirp with delight as they enjoy this special homemade treat! 🍰🐦
