Es one of my mother's star recipes. When he takes it to any family gathering or with friends he always succeeds and there is always someone who asks him for the recipe.
Preparing it takes time because you have to poach the onion well and, above all, because it should be done the previous day so that the bread is juicier.
Do not miss the photos with step by step, so you will have very clear how it is prepared. You will see that in the photos of the preparation the mold used is round while in the cover photo the cake is rectangular. You can give it the shape you like the most, the result will always be good.

Ingredients
- 340 g onion, finely chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil to fry the onion
- Some slices of bread without crust (the number of slices will depend on the mold used, we will have to make three bases: approximately 11 units for a plum cake mold)
- 250 g of fried tomato
- 10 hake sticks (optional)
- 280 g of tuna in canned oil, slightly drained
- 20 g of vinegar (or we do not add vinegar if we use pickled tuna)
- 50g canned red pepper plus a little more for garnish
- Mayonnaise to cover the surface
- 2 boiled eggs to decorate
Preparation
We poach well the onion in a frying pan. It will take 45 minutes or 1 hour to poach.
We prepare the tuna. If it is in oil, drain slightly and add the vinegar.
In a round or plum cake mold (better if it is removable) we are making our cake. We put the slices of bread placed on the base.
On them we spread a little mayonnaise.
We put in a bowl the tomato, the crab sticks, the poached onion and the tuna.
Lo we mix all good.
We cover the bread with the previous mixture.
We put some strips of pepper on top (optional). We put a layer of bread slices again.
We put mayonnaise again, the mixture of ingredients (tuna, onion, tomato and sticks) and more pepper in strips.
We finish with another layer of sliced bread.
We let everything cool in the refrigerator for a few hours or better yet, a whole day.
After that time we unmold the cake. We spread the mayonnaise over the entire surface and decorate it with a hard-boiled egg and red pepper.

Hello, Marina!
Have you ever done it? If the answer is yes, I hope you liked it;)
Thank you for following us and for your comment.
A hug!
Sorry, but the cake is pickled tuna and yet the ingredients include tuna in oil?
Hello Consuelo,
So it is and it is correct. If you look closely, a splash of vinegar also appears in the ingredients.
The reason is that with pickled tuna it is too strong (for my taste) so we make it with tuna in oil or natural and we add the vinegar we consider.
You can make it with pickled tuna if you prefer, it also works well. Of course, then do not put the vinegar;)
I hope you like it. You will tell me!
A hug!
