It happens that you need to quickly prepare a dish that will be tasty, aesthetic in appearance, and most importantly, satisfying. For such cases, we present to your attention the beef liver liver cake, and the recipe with step-by-step photos will help you prepare the perfect dish effortlessly.

Traditional recipe

This is a classic version that will definitely appeal to all family members and even guests, because such a beautiful delicacy is not a shame to put on a festive table. From the proportions below, you will have approximately 10 servings.

Ingredients:

• beef liver - 1 kg;
• eggs - 3 pcs.;
• milk - 0.5 l;
• wheat flour - 350 g;
• medium-sized carrots - 2 pcs.;
• onions - 2 pcs.;
• salt to taste;
• pepper to taste.

Preparation:

This recipe requires minced beef liver. You can cook it yourself from a whole beef liver or purchase a finished product in a store

Add eggs to the minced meat and mix thoroughly. Pour in milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Add flour in portions, stirring well each time

• If you add flour right away, mixing the foods will be quite problematic.
• Place a skillet over low heat and brush with vegetable oil. Bake the cakes one by one. For each liver pancake, there is enough dough that fits in 1 ladle.
• The consistency for the cakes should be liquid so that they set well during frying.

Once the pancake is browned on one side, flip it over to the other. In general, the steps are the same as for making regular pancakes. If you want the cake to be as beautiful as possible, make thin cakes no more than 0.5 cm thick. But even if you make thick cakes according to our step-by-step recipe with a photo, you will still get very tasty beef liver liver cake

When the cakes are ready, you can start preparing the filling. For her, wash the carrots, peel and rub on a coarse grater. Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings. If the bulbs are hot, then boiling water will help get rid of unpleasant tastes - pour hot water on the chopped onion for a few minutes, then drain the water and dry the slices

Fry the prepared onions and carrots with a little oil in a frying pan until the onions are golden

You can start assembling the cake. Do this according to the standard scheme: cake, filling, cake, etc. If you have too many cake layers, then make 2 small cakes. So, it will be more convenient to cut them, and they definitely will not disintegrate

Chill the liver cake in the refrigerator and serve.

Liver cake with mayonnaise

Here's another recipe with step by step photos. This beef liver liver cake is prepared without vegetables, but it contains garlic-mayonnaise sauce. It is ideal for those who do not like onions and carrots, but adore "peppercorn" dishes.

Ingredients:

• beef liver - 500 g;
• flour - 4 tbsp. l.;
• milk - 2 tbsp.;
• mayonnaise - 300 g;
• chicken eggs - 4 pcs.;
• garlic - 6-8 cloves;
• soda - 1 tsp;
• vegetable oil - 5 tbsp. l.;
• salt to taste;
• pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. As in the previous recipe, minced liver meat can be prepared at home or purchased at the store. If you decide to start cooking yourself, rinse and separate the liver from the veins. Cut the liver into small pieces to make it easier to grind with a meat grinder.
2. When the minced meat is ready, you can add the rest of the ingredients to it. First, break the eggs, then add milk and vegetable oil. Add salt, pepper, mix everything well. Gradually add flour through a sieve.
3. The last ingredient for the dough is baking soda. It must be extinguished with vinegar or boiling water so that it does not add unnecessary flavors to the cakes. Thanks to soda, the cakes will turn out to be more fluffy and tender.
4. So, when the dough is ready, you can start baking the cakes. This is done in a frying pan without vegetable oil, since we have already added it to the dough. The cakes are baked in the same way as pancakes. Thanks to soda, the pancakes will rise during frying, so you do not need to make them thick beforehand.
5. The pan can be replaced with a pancake maker - it will speed up and facilitate the process.
6. To prepare the mayonnaise sauce, chop the garlic with a garlic press. If you want pronounced pieces of garlic to remain in the sauce, simply cut it into small pieces with a knife. Mix the garlic and mayonnaise and the sauce is ready. By the way, if you want the cake to be more dietary, prepare the mayonnaise yourself. It will take a little time, but with homemade mayonnaise, the dish will be much healthier.
7. Assemble the cake by brushing garlic sauce over each crust. Let it sit in the cold for a few hours.

Liver and Eggplant Cake

Eggplant liver cake is a rather unusual, but insanely tasty combination. Having tried it once, you will cook beef liver liver cake only according to this step-by-step recipe with a photo.

Ingredients:

• minced beef liver - 500 g;
• flour - 150 g;
• egg - 1 pc.;
• carrots - 1 pc.;
• tomato - 1 pc.;
• medium eggplant - 1 pc.;
• head of garlic - 1 pc.;
• mayonnaise to taste;
• salt to taste.

Preparation:

Add 1 egg to the ground beef and add flour, sifting it first, so that the cakes are more fluffy. Stir the ingredients together. It is more convenient to do this with a mixer, since at first the consistency will be quite dense and it will be more difficult to mix it thoroughly by hand. In the final stage, the dough should turn out to be liquid, like sour cream

Preheat a skillet over medium heat, brush with oil and pour in some of the dough. Fry the cakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, then turn over

Leave the cakes to cool while you fill them. Wash the eggplant, peel and cut into thin slices. Repeat the same with carrots, but together with cutting, you can grate them. Wash the tomato and cut it into small cubes. Combine vegetables in 1 frying pan, add a little vegetable oil and simmer for 10 minutes

Season the prepared vegetables with salt and start assembling the cake. Put vegetables on each crust, grease them with a little mayonnaise on top and cover with another liver pancake

With the remaining vegetables, you can decorate the cake on top, then send it to the refrigerator for several hours. The dish is ready

Liver cake in the oven

This recipe is very similar to the traditional one. Its only difference is that it is not cooked in a pan, but in the oven. And also sour cream is used here, but you can completely do without it or replace it with a sauce of your choice.

Ingredients:

• liver mince - 0.8 kg;
• flour - 4 tbsp. l.;
• carrots - 3 pcs.;
• onion - 1 pc.;
• eggs - 2 pcs.;
• milk - 70 ml;
• cloves of garlic - 3 pcs.;
• vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.;
• fat sour cream - 400 ml;
• salt, pepper - to taste;
• soda;
• vegetable oil.

Preparation:

1. Before cooking, turn on the oven 180 degrees so that it has time to warm up. Make the dough yourself: mix the chopped liver with milk and eggs in a deep plate. Use a blender or mixer for this purpose - this will greatly simplify your task.
2. After sifting, add flour, salt and add a little pepper to taste. Add vegetable oil, then extinguish the soda and add it to the same bowl. Stir everything thoroughly one last time and head to the oven.
3. Pour the dough in a thin layer on the bottom of the silicone mold so that all the masses are enough for 6-7 cakes.
4. The baking time depends on how thick the layer you pour and what diameter you have.
5. Chop carrots, onions and sauté them in a skillet for half an hour. Then season with salt and add a few cloves of minced garlic to the vegetables. Add sour cream to the filling if desired.

Collect the cake, let it soak in the refrigerator for a few hours. Make tea and invite guests!
