NAPOLEON CAKE

Ingredients:

-for the puff pastry-

- Flour - 500g
- Butter - 250g
- Egg
- Vinegar 9% - 1 tbsp
- Cold water - 100 ml
- Salt

-for the pastry cream-

- Cream 33% - 200 ml
- Milk - 250 ml
- Butter - 100g
- Egg
- Sugar 200g
- Cornstarch - 1 tbsp
Preparation:

• add flour into a large bowl;

• then grate butter into the same bowl and work it into the flour, until there are pea sized bits of butter throughout the dough;

• into a separate bowl add an egg, a bit of salt and vinegar and mix it all together. Then add around 100ml of water;

• and pour in the dough the liquid ingredients. Gently but quickly mix the dough, just until it comes together and becomes soft and pliable;

• wrap in plastic and chill for 1 to 2 hours to make it easier to roll out;

• now let’s make the pastry cream. In a bowl add an egg, sugar and cornstarch. Mix it all well;

• then add hot milk and mix it all together;

• pour this mixture into the saucepan and stir with a whisk until smooth;

• then add a butter and stir until it melts;

• remove from the heat and set aside to cool;

• then blend a cream until it becomes moussey;

• slightly whisk the cooled cream and add it to whipped cream. Our pastry cream is ready;

• now let’s go back to our cooled dough. Divide it into 6 pieces. And roll out each portion of dough into a very thin circle;

• then cut an even circle with a plate and pierce it with a fork;

• heat the oven to 375 F and bake each circle of pastry until golden brown. As a result I got 7 layers of pastry. And I crumbled one layer of dough to decorate the cake later;

• now let’s make a cake itself. Place one layer of the cooked dough in the bottom of the dish and pierce it a bit with a fork. It’s done for the dough to absorb the cream better;

• and cover evenly with a layer of cooled pastry cream. Continue to build up the cake in this way;

• in the end decorate the cake with crumbs from the dough;

• refrigerate for at least 6 hours – overnight is ideal.

Enjoy! Bon appétit.
