Ingredients
- 8 crustless bread slices
- 300 grams soft full-fat cream cheese
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 3 slices of lemon to decorate
- a few fresh dill leaves to decorate
Instructions
- Arrange 2 slices of bread on a rectangle serving plate.
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over both slices.
- Top them with 2 slices of smoked salmon, then top with 2 slices of bread to create a sandwich.
- Spread another layer of cream cheese, salmon and bread, and continue to pile them up until you use up the bread slices: my cake had 3 layers of smoked salmon and cream cheese filling.
- Spread the remaining cheese over the top and sides to resemble a cake.
- Garnish with lemon slices, smoked salmon strips and fresh fill leaves.

Notes
- The cream cheese I used is regular soft cream cheese than is ideal for spreading, I believe that in the US at least, cream cheese comes in a block and has to be beaten to make it soft.
- Also, make sure you use full-fat cream cheese, the low fat version is way too watery and messy, and it won't be spread as well, making the cake rather sloppy and runny. But other than that, this dish is simplicity in itself, do give it a go!
