Napoleon cake with boiled condensed milk from ready-made puff pastry

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 9 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   In order to prepare Napoleon cake from ready-made puff pastry, prepare yeast-free puff pastry (store-bought, frozen), boiled condensed milk and good quality natural butter.

2. STEP 2

   

   The puff pastry needs to be thawed until it becomes soft and pliable. Divide the dough into so many pieces to make cakes of equal size (3-4 pieces). The dough can be rolled out a little. Place the cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make several punctures in the dough with a fork. Place in the oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. The dough should rise and brown.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, you need to combine softened butter and boiled condensed milk in a large bowl. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to obtain the most homogeneous cream possible.

4. STEP 4

   

   The finished cakes must be removed from the oven, cooled and placed on a wide board, and then assembled. I coated each cake with the resulting cream made from butter and boiled condensed milk. The cream should be spread liberally and generously. I pressed the coated cakes with my palm to reduce the height.

5. STEP 5

   

   Leave the top layer without cream, we will coat it later, so be sure to leave a small portion of cream for the top of the cake. Then press the cake down with another cutting board or flat dish and leave it at room temperature for a few hours. During this time the cake will become denser and saturated.

6. STEP 6

   

   Apply the remaining boiled condensed milk cream to the top and sides of the cake. If desired, decorate the top with walnuts or cake crumbs. Place the cake in a cool place overnight to soak. Bon appetit!
