Cake Ingredients

500 grams chicken or beef liver (about 1 pound)
1 egg
100 grams flour (about 1 cup, can be buckwheat or wheat)
2 medium carrots, boiled for filling

Decoration Ingredients

Dog-shaped biscuits for decoration
Ribbon

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Layers

Start by finely chopping the liver using a blender until it's a smooth mixture. Combine the chopped liver with the egg and flour in a mixing bowl. Mix well to form a batter.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Divide the batter evenly into three 16 cm (approximately 6 inches) round cake pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once baked, set the layers aside to cool completely.

Step 2

Make the Frosting

In another bowl, mix the soft cottage cheese with the flour until well combined. This will help to make a thicker frosting that is easy to spread. Set this aside while your cake layers are cooling.

Step 3

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake layers have cooled, start with the first layer. Spread a layer of frosting on top of it, forming a border around the edge with the frosting. This will help hold the filling.

Finely grate the boiled carrots and place them inside the border. Repeat the process with the second layer, adding more frosting and carrots, then place the final layer on top.

Cover the top and sides of the cake with any remaining frosting. For a delightful touch, decorate the sides with dog-shaped biscuits and wrap a ribbon around the cake to finish.
