Recipe:
For the dough:
5½ cups (690g) Flour
1¾ cup (400g) Cold butter, cubed
2 Eggs
200ml Ice water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
For the cream:
6 Egg yolks
1/3 cup (43g) cornstarch
3 cups (720ml) Milk
1 cup (230g) butter
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp (175g) Sugar
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Make the dough: In a small bowl whisk eggs, water, vinegar and salt. Set aside.
2. Place the flour, salt, and butter into a food processor and pulse until crumbs are formed. Transfer to a large bowl, add wet ingredients, mix until dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface, knead with your hands until smooth. Divide into 10-12 equal parts, shape into balls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile make the cream: in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and set aside. In a medium saucepan heat milk, stirring occasionally, until hot but not boiling. Turn the heat off. Temper the eggs: gradually add the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. When combined, pour the mixture back to the saucepan, heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until thickens, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla extract, stir until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool completely.
4. Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
5. On a parchment paper, roll each ball into very thin layer, trim the rolled dough using a 8-Inch (20 cm) cake ring/cake pan. Pierce each layer with a fork. Leave the leftovers on the tray.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden. Repeat with the remaining dough. You can bake 2 layers at the time (on one tray only). Let cool to room temperature. Keep the leftover dough for later.
7. Once the cake layers are cooled you can assemble the cake. Spread about 3 tablespoons of cream on one layer, Stack the second layer on top and repeat until you have 12 layers. Spread extra cream on top and sides.
8. Place the leftover dough into a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
9. Spread cake crumbs on top and sides of the cake.
10. Refrigerate the cake overnight.
Notes:
• If your food processor large enough, make the dough in one batch, if not, divide the ingredients into half and prepare the dough crumbs in two batches.
• If you don’t have a food processor, you can make the dough by hand.
• You can make less than 12 layers.

Honey cake is better
I made this cake and yeah it’s delicious. I will do the following modifications to the recipe: 1. Make 1 1/2 portion of cream, wasn’t enough or reduced the layers and instead of 3 tablespoons of cream add 6. Mine was too dry even though I left the cake in the fridge overnight 2. Add salt in the dough 3. Add some rum (2 tsp) beside the vanilla extract. It was delicious and smell amazing. 4. I have a gas oven and I need it 14 min for each sheet to get it golden 5. Organize your time ahead as this cakes takes over 4-5 h to make it Good luck!

First time making this cake and it turned out better than I thought it would, definitely worth the time and effort

This and russian honey cake are the best cakes in the world in my opinion. Russian cakes are to die for.
I made this cake the other day for the first time and it turned out perfect - one of the best Napoleon cakes I have tried. I'm fairly new to baking however the recipe was very easy to follow. Thank you.

It’s actually a French cake in origin but Russians love it! I thought it was a Russian cake because I grew up eating this and seeing all of the old ladies make this classic cake. Maybe the French just made it for the Russians to perfect? 😋
Cake is very sweet
Muy riquísimo

It is tradition in the Lithuanian community here! My Grandma made it for our birthdays too! Best cake I've ever had so here's hoping this one turns out as good. Just need that layer of apricot spread in the middle to make it like hers.

Hello, I am not sure which flour should I use to make the dough, should be Cake flour or all purpose flour or bread flour? could you please tell me, thanks🙂
My favourite!
رووووووعة so nice 👍 👏
Nice
A wonderfull recipe and I will surely give it a try. But the layers are definitely not puff-pastry of mille feuille, that is thin layer upon thin layer again and again and letting it rest in the refrigerator each time.
mmmmm YUMMY
I spent 7 hours of making this cake TBH 😂🙏🏻

can you refrigerate the dough over night?
The pastry was very easy to work with and the layers turned out perfect. What didn't turn out as well was the custard. Much too runny. Turned to a tried-and-true custard recipe for Kremsnite that sets up thick and spreadable. The recipe includes gelatin which assures it. The guests loved it and the Napoleon was the preferred dessert over a 4-layer Black & White cake with chocolate cognac mousse and Italian buttercream frosting.
How long can the cake lasts in the fridge?
Nice plz tel me its weight 1 lb or ?
Won't the overnight chilling make the layers soggy?
Yees!
In Chile 🇨🇱 we a similar cake but we put dulce de leche. We call it torta milhojas. A thousand layer cake.

Traditionally when making puff pastry, there are multiple folds. I noticed there wasn't any folding. Is that to avoid it getting too puffy?

Hello dear I made your recipe it yummy yes, BUT 200ml water seem not going well as the all purpose flour it get creamy , cause too many water, So I recommend you to say put water a bit by times instead of saying how many ML which you are not exactly know 🙏🏻
Hey i saw on facebook your vid has been taken for someone else and they put their own company logo on that.
my favorite cake in the world
Hello! If I don't have a food processor can I directly put the butter and flour in the blender or what should I do? Thank you
@ytuser85

No, the blender one is a bad idea. You can grate the butter and mix it into the flour or cut cubes of butter and mix it in, the grating one is much easier.
@paulietchka

make sure the butter is very cold and try to work quickly with your hands. watch “rough puff pastry” videos on KZread to get the hang of it, it’s a similar process (though this one doesn’t seem to require much laminating, easier!)
Amazing 😍 I'm from saudi arabia
I wonder can we add walnuts in the cream?
It looks like it should be called the "clear your schedule" cake, because you'll be making it all day. Guess that means I should clear my schedule, because now I want to make it. The only thing I might do different is augment the cream with a little homemade heavy whipping cream. Just so it's a little less gloopy. But seriously. This looks like one of the greatest desserts in history.
Can I ask please may be such a silly question,but i am fairly new in baking?i am currently living in Scotland 🏴 and I don’t know where to buy cornstarch,so can I change it with something else and if the answer is no ,where I can purchase it from and is there is a different name for it please ? One more time ,sorry for the daft question! ;))

I find it hard to believe you can't buy a conrstarch in any grocery store. Anywas, there's no starch in the original recipe, just eggs, sugar, butter, milk and a bit of brendy, keep it on the fire until it's thick enough.

Followed the recipe as good as I could but my crust discs didn't got any colour untill they were in the oven for nearly 20 minutes which resulted in them not soaking in the cream Should I take them out, for the next attempt, after 10-12 minutes regardless of colour?

You should refrigerate your cake one night.
Which flour was used...?
I tried this recipe I followed the instructions step ny step but then when I put the puff pastry into the oven it deforms. What should I do?
Look like kerala chattipathiri... 😊same ingredients 🤗
