6-LIVER CAKE WITH DIFFERENT LAYERS

For 900 grams of chicken liver:
1 onion, 2 eggs,
1 tbsp. potato starch,
2 tbsp flour,
salt pepper,
garlic and curry seasoning.

Twist the liver with onion and garlic, add eggs and spices, flour, starch, beat well and leave for 20 minutes. We bake pancakes.
For the filling, boiled eggs (whites and yolks separately) and grate hard cheese on a fine grater.
Assemble the cake. Grease each pancake with mayonnaise and add the filling in the following order:
pancake with mayonnaise + yolk
pancake with mayonnaise + protein
pancake with mayonnaise + cheese, etc.
Decorate the top with boiled carrot flowers and the sides with herbs. Try it, it’s very tasty!

7-Liver cake with mushrooms

The excellent taste of fried champignons will make your traditional liver cake an unusual, original dish.

We will need:

Liver (any) - about 800 grams- a glass of milk

A glass of flour- three raw eggs

One boiled egg- half a kilogram of fresh champignons

Two bulbs- a small pack of mayonnaise (about 200 grams)

Salt, pepper, vegetable oil.

1. Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and fry the chopped champignons until the excess moisture has evaporated from them. Add finely chopped onion and fry until tender. You can add salt and pepper.
2. Grind the liver, mix with eggs, a small amount of vegetable oil (so that the pancakes fry better and do not burn), mix the mass thoroughly, add salt.
3. We bake pancakes, turning them on both sides.
4. Grease the layers of liver pancakes with mayonnaise and add mushroom filling.
5. You can decorate the top with finely ground yolks, parsley leaves, and bright vegetable flowers.

8-Liver cake with cream

This cake turns out incredibly tender, and its “layers” literally melt in your mouth!

We will need:

Half a kilogram of liver

Two bulbs- oatmeal "Hercules" - 5 spoons

Three raw eggs- a glass of cream

Garlic, milk, salt, pepper, lemon juice.

1. We take fresh liver and scald it with boiling water (I described above how best to do this). Then grind it in a blender and mix it with finely chopped onion.
2. Soak oatmeal in milk, combine with liver and onion. Add eggs and mix thoroughly again.
3. Fry the pancakes.
4. For the sauce, whip the cream, gently mix with chopped garlic, add lemon juice and pepper.
5. We assemble the cake, brushing each “cake” with sauce, then put it in the refrigerator to soak, but not for long - this cake is so tender that half an hour will be enough for it.
6. Spread sauce on top and sprinkle with herbs.

• If you have already tried to make a liver cake, then you probably know that sometimes, once it’s ready and decorated on top, it can be difficult to cut into traditional “cake” segments—the layers tend to slip out from under the knife. There is a wonderful way out - cut it into portioned triangles while still “undecorated”, and then decorate the finished portions on top.
• Small liver cakes decorated like cakes look great on any table, even the most formal ones. They are baked and “assembled” in the same way as large ones, only you should not get a pancake, but rather a pancake. For its filling, three layers will be enough; it can be either traditional or unusual.
• Among the non-traditional and very tasty fillings are grated cheese, egg pancakes (baked according to regular omelet recipes), chopped vegetables, and lettuce.
• The liver cake will be much more tender if the liver is ground to a very finely ground puree (make sure that there are no pieces left), and the pancakes are baked in a sufficient amount of vegetable oil (if there is not enough oil, the “cakes” will turn out to be dry).
• It is better to grate the carrots for frying on a fine grater, so they will blend more harmoniously with the delicate texture of the liver pancakes. If desired, carrots fried with onions can be ground in a blender until pureed, then when cut, your dish will look exactly like a real cake!
• Liver cake (its hot version) looks very beautiful if you sprinkle it with grated cheese and put it in the oven for a few minutes. As soon as the cheese has melted and acquired a golden brown crust, the cake can be removed.

  9-Liver cake in a new way

  In my opinion, liver cake is familiar to the entire post-Soviet space. I just came up with a different form of presentation. This is how pastry chefs make cakes, why not get creative with appetizers?

  You need to cut the pancakes in such a way thatwe got rectangles with whichwe will work.

  
  

  Take the first rectangle, painting and culinaryUsing a silicone brush, coat it with garlicmayonnaise and roll into a roll. We do the samewith the rest of the rectangles, sequentiallywrapping them around each other.

  
  Place the “work” in a springform panfor the cake, fill with gelled mayonnaise withspices and - in the refrigerator until completely hardened.

  
  
  Don't ask me how to make gelled mayonnaise: I<на глазок>did. There are exact recipes on the internet. But, and this is very important, do not pour mayonnaise on the cake right away, but give it a little<схватиться>in the refrigerator, otherwise it will escape through all the cracks.

Liver cake

So, we present the star of any holiday table - liver cake. The recipe is, naturally, based on the product of the same name. The liver can be any one of your choice. If you like your chicken tender, please use it. Moreover, it contains a huge amount of folic acid. Beef is much tougher and coarser than pork, but since it should be ground in the recipe, this fact will not play a role. There is a nuance that beef liver is a little bitter and should be soaked in milk before cooking (leave it in the refrigerator overnight). Pork liver contains the most iron, which is so necessary for our blood. The choice is yours.

Liver cake recipe

So, the easiest way to make a liver cake will take you no more than an hour. All you need to do is mince or chop one onion and half a kilo of liver in a blender.

To this you need to add three eggs and three tablespoons of flour, the same amount of sour cream. Salt to taste and ground black pepper will decorate the dish, giving it an excellent aroma. Don't forget to put it down. The result is a delicate substance similar to pancake dough. That's how it should be. Liver cake consists of several flat cakes baked in a pan. You should proceed as when frying regular pancakes. Distribute a ladle of dough into a greased frying pan. Fry on one side and then on the other. From this volume of dough you will get about eight cakes with a golden brown crust.

Liver cake fillings

Any cake requires filling. The most commonly used are cream and dried fruits. How to make a liver cake without filling? No way. All that remains is to choose what you will coat the cakes with. The simplest cream for such a dish is mayonnaise or sour cream. More complex ones include fried onion and carrot fillings. The filling with mushrooms and onions is also wonderful.

Therefore, many recommend fried vegetables, before filling the cake with them, place them in a sieve and allow excess oil to drain. Liver cake can be supplemented with fresh, salted or pickled cucumbers; Add boiled eggs to the fried vegetable filling, and a finely crumbled yolk will become an elegant decoration. Don't forget about herbs and garlic. They are perfect for this dish too. Feel free to put them in the filling, mayonnaise or sour cream. Use for decoration.

2. Add an egg (or two), flour, sour cream, salt and seasonings to the liver “dough”; the consistency should resemble dough for pancakes or thick pancakes. Fry the liver “pancakes” (in vegetable oil, on both sides), a nice dark pink crust should form.
3. While the pancakes are cooling, you can start filling. Peel the carrots and onions, rinse and chop. Grate the carrots or use a food processor. Fry the carrot-onion mixture in a frying pan, also using vegetable oil.
4. Make mayonnaise filling by mixing ready-made or homemade mayonnaise with crushed garlic. Wash the greens, dry them, chop them.
