Traditional homemade Napoleon Cake

Very tender, incredibly tasty and easy to prepare cake! Yes, yes, the same famous Napoleon cake recipe, however, I found a slightly different one for it. I prepared this cake in the form in which it was originally intended. That is, as you can see in the photo, the classic Napoleon cake recipe is slightly different from its other variations. Fruits on top can be added not so much for taste, but for beauty. Anything can serve as a crumb, but it’s a good idea to dilute the crumbs with ground nuts to get almost the same as the Napoleon cake recipe with photo shows. My description of how to make Napoleon cake can be found below.
