Liver Cake with Vegetable Filling

A delicious liver cake with a savory vegetable filling — perfect for a celebration! I loved this filling, and the liver layers are wonderfully tasty. It's a hearty, satisfying appetizer, and the combination of carrots, onions, and mushrooms really won me over. That's the whole idea behind a "liver cake": along with the liver, you fold in an assortment of vegetables and mushrooms. All of it — vegetables, mushrooms, and even the type of liver — can be mixed and matched however the cook likes. The version here is the result of one of those happy combinations you stumble on while cooking.

  • Just about everyone has eaten liver — but how many have tried liver cake? If you've never made it, this recipe is for you. Start by rinsing and drying the liver (I used beef liver). Run it through a meat grinder or purée it in a blender. Mix in the eggs, sifted flour, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook thin liver pancakes in a preheated, oiled skillet — you'll get about 9 if you use an 8-inch (20 cm) pan. Separately, heat oil in a skillet and sauté the chopped onion, then add the carrots. Fry the mushrooms as well — together or separately, whichever you prefer. Press the garlic into the mayonnaise. Spread a warm liver pancake with the garlic mayo, add one filling (say, carrots with onion), top with a second pancake, more mayo, and the second filling (mushrooms with onion). Keep building the cake this way, leaving the very top pancake bare. Cover the cake with a plate and set a weight on top so the layers press together. Grate the hard-boiled egg whites and yolks separately, and grate the cheese on a medium grater. Combine the whites with the cheese, stir in mayonnaise, and coat the sides of the cake. Spread the top with mayonnaise and sprinkle it with the grated yolks.
