Tuna Sandwich Cake
Ingredients
    Tuna filling
  • 850g Tuna (canned in olive oil)
  • 230g Capers in Vinegar (jar)
  • 1 Red onion (finely diced)
  • 0.5 cup Crushed Peanuts
  • 0.75 cup Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie)
  • Balsamic Vinegar (To taste)
    • Cake assemblage
  • 1 Loaf of sliced bread
  • 1 cup Cream Cheese (Allow to reach room temperature before using.)
  • 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
  • Dill (For garnish)
  • Cucumber (For garnish)
  • Water cress (For garnish)
  • Pomegranate (For garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Tuna mix

    Strain the tuna and in a medium bowl, mix all the tuna filling ingredients until combined well.

  2. 2
    Bread cake base

    Lay and stack all the bread slices to resemble the bread cake layers. Cut around the edges to make a round cake shape. You can leave them as is and make a square cake, but prefer it rounded. 

  3. 3

    Add the tuna mix in between all the bread layers and end with the top lay being bread.

    Whip the cream cheese and mayonnaise together to create the frosting.

    Decorate with garnishes you have on hand. On this occasion I used dill, water cress, pomegranate and qukes.

    Slice of tuna cake

    Allow to set in the fridge for an hour or 2 for the flavours to meld and cake to set before serving.

    Cut and serve chilled; bah bah!!
