Equipment

  • Pan

Ingredients

  • 5 Eggs 2 hardboiled and reserved
  • 500 grams Liver Pork or Chicken; chopped finely
  • 1 Onion yellow; finely chopped
  • 125 ml Milk
  • 50 grams Butter browned
  • 4 tbsp Flour
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise or to taste

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine 3 eggs, the liver, milk, flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly trickle in the browned butter.
  • Use some vegetable oil to grease a pan and on a medium heat add just enough batter to cover the bottom. Let cook for a couple minutes, then flip and cook for another minute. Place off to the side until all liver crepes are cooked.
  • Assemble the cake. Layer of liver crepe, thin smear of mayonnaise, and continue. This recipe makes about 15 layers, which you can separate into 3 5-layer cakes, or just make a big 15 layer liver cake. It is entirely up to you.
  • On the top, add a final thin layer of mayonnaise and some crumbled hard boiled egg. Garnish with parsley or kale and serve cold.
