- Add tuna, finely diced onion and dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne pepper if desired.
Assemble the cake.
- Place four slices of white sandwich bread in a square shape, or cut the bread if you prefer a round cake.
- Evenly spread the tuna filling over the bread slices.
- Place 4 more bread slices on top of the tuna filling, creating a second layer.
- Evenly spread the egg filling on top of this new layer, ensuring it covers the bread slices.
- Add the final layer of 4 bread slices on top, completing the sandwich cake.
- In a bowl, thoroughly mix mayonnaise and Greek yogurt (or crème fraîche). Pour the mixture over the cake.
- And spread the mixture evenly all over the cake, making sure to cover the top and sides completely.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the flavorful liquids from the fillings, resulting in a moist and delicious cake.
- On the day of serving, it's time to decorate the cake to make it look fresh and visually appealing. Get creative with your toppings and use ingredients like salmon, eggs, and caviar to decorate the cake.
Notes
Try using smoked tuna (canned) in the tuna filling for an extra special touch.
