Vegetable appetizer cake with zucchini
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. I’d like to present a very interesting appetizer option in the form of a cake—a vegetable appetizer cake with zucchini. Such a cake holds its shape well thanks to soaking in mayonnaise or sour cream and works excellently as a table centerpiece. You can experiment a bit with the layers, alternating them differently. You can also make a slightly spicy appetizer cake by adding spices to taste. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Refrigerate for several hours, then carefully unwrap and place it on a serving plate. Garnish the cake with tomatoes and fresh herbs.
