The holidays are coming and what better way to show your loved ones how much you care then by making them homemade treats? While you're baking for your friends and family, why not throw something in the oven for the chickens too?
This Christmas tree cake is actually cornbread which is much lower in sugar then cake. It also has all kinds of healthy chicken favorites included in it, like pumpkin and yogurt! So don't feel too guilty about making them a cake ... It's actually good for them! Plus, it's super easy. Just start with a store bought mix, make a few substitutions and chop a few things for garnishes.
To add nutrients to this cake, I swapped pumpkin for the butter called for in the cornbread mix. Pumpkin is a great source of antioxidants, fiber and vitamin A which is an essential vitamin for chickens. If you were going to make this for human consumption you would want to leave at least some fat in it to make the texture and consistency palatable. When swapping out all of the butter or oil for pumpkin it'll be a slight bit drier than we would like, but the chickens don't care! Besides, it's getting covered with yogurt so that will make up for the moisture issue.
