Many people think that healthy eating is a must, but this is a misconception. Even the healthiest meals can be incredibly delicious. One of these delicacies will be discussed in the article - a classic recipe for a liver cake.
Not everyone loves to eat the liver, because its taste is, to put it mildly, specific. If you cook it incorrectly, you get a completely incomprehensible mass. But you need to eat the product regularly, since the benefits from it are colossal.
It is enough to eat only 100 g to get a daily dose of vitamins and minerals: A, C, B, E, K, PP and D, iron, copper, zinc and chromium, and in an easily digestible form. In addition, the liver contains potassium, which removes excess fluid from the body. Its deficiency can cause edema. Another consequence of the lack of this substance is cramps in the calves, weakness and increased fatigue.
Many doctors advise people with iron deficiency anemia to eat their liver more often. It contains a special trace element iron, which is responsible for the production of hemoglobin.
Three types of liver can usually be found commercially:
Each is useful in its own way. The most dietary one, which is most often prescribed for both children and adults, especially pregnant women, is beef. It contains a huge amount of nutrients that are easily absorbed by the body.

The filling can also be absolutely any: ordinary grated cheese, vegetables, chopped boiled eggs, etc. The classic recipe for a liver cake implies that between the pancakes there will be carrots fried with onions and mushrooms. Other options are good too, so cook whatever you can imagine.
Now let's move on to a step-by-step recipe for beef liver liver cake. During the cooking process, you can use any convenient technique: a blender, a food processor or a conventional meat grinder.
The finished liver cake according to the classic recipe should be placed in the refrigerator so that all layers are thoroughly soaked and it cools down.
