Russian Liver Cake Recipe
Description
This Russian Liver Cake recipe uses finely blended chicken liver combined with sour cream, egg, flour, salt, and pepper to form a thin batter. The batter is cooked as delicate crepe-like layers until golden brown on both sides, producing tender, savory layers. Separately, a creamy mixture of mayonnaise, freshly pressed garlic, and chopped fresh dill is prepared to layer between the crepes.
Assembly involves stacking the liver crepes alternately with garlic-dill mayonnaise, creating a multilayered savory cake with a balance of earthy liver flavor and bright herbaceous creaminess. Chilling the assembled cake for at least an hour before serving allows the layers to set and flavors to meld.
The liver cake is typically served sliced, making it suitable as an appetizer or party dish with a unique texture combining soft crepe layers and creamy filling.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb chicken liver
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 2 cup mayonnaise
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup dill diced, fresh
- 3 tbsp canola oil
Instructions
- Rinse the chicken liver under cold running water. Using a blender or grinder, blend the liver into tiny pieces. Add sour cream, egg, salt, pepper, and flour to the blended chicken liver. Pulse the mixture a couple of times to combine.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat with a little bit of oil. Pour a thin crepe like layer of the liver mixture onto the skillet.
- Cook each side for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Set it aside to cool at room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, combine the pressed garlic, diced dill, and mayonnaise.
- Assemble the cake by alternating a liver crepe with a layer of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat until you run out of crepes.
- Refrigerate the liver cake for at least an hour before serving. Slice and enjoy!
