Napoleon

The recipe

What is Napoleon Cake?

Napoleon is a layered pastry cake made from multiple thin pastry layers filled with smooth custard. When first assembled, the layers are crisp; as the cake rests, they gradually absorb the cream and develop Napoleon’s characteristic soft yet delicately layered texture.
