Ingredients
- 12 slices bologna
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 8 –10 round crackers for the base
- Fresh parsley or dill for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Base
- Place round crackers on the serving plate or cake pan. This will act as the bottom layer of the Bologna Cake. Make sure they form a solid base.
Mix Cream Cheese Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir until smooth and creamy. This will be your flavorful filling.
Layer Bologna
- Place 3–4 slices of bologna over the cracker base. Overlap slightly so the cake will hold together. Smooth the edges to make the layer even.
Add Cream Cheese Filling
- Spread about 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bologna layer. Make sure it covers the entire layer to stick the next bologna slices.
Repeat Layers
- Continue layering bologna and cream cheese mixture until all slices are used. End with cream cheese on the top layer for decoration.
Add Toppings
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Add sliced green onions and finely chopped red bell pepper. These add color, flavor, and crunch to your cake.
Chill the Cake
- Cover the Bologna Cake with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the layers set and makes slicing easier.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, decorate with fresh parsley or dill. Slice carefully and serve with crackers. Enjoy your savory, fun and creative Bologna Cake!
Notes
- Use good-quality bologna for best flavor.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Chill the cake before slicing to prevent layers from falling.
- You can add pickles or olives for extra flavor.
- Use a sharp knife for clean slices.
