Description
Napoleon Cake made with chopped dough and layered with creamy custard.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 5½ glasses
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Butter - 17.6 oz
- Salt - ½ spoons
- Water - ½ glasses
- Sugar - 1½ glasses
- Vanillin - a pinch
- Milk - 2 glasses
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Chill the butter thoroughly in advance.
Step 2
Chop 4.5 cups of flour with 400 g of chilled butter until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Step 3
Knead the dough with salted water from the mixture obtained.
Step 4
Divide the prepared dough into 7 pieces, cover it, and place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Step 5
Next, roll each piece into a flat round about 3–4 mm thick, and prick the dough every 5–7 cm with a fork to prevent large bubbles.
Step 6
Bake at 392°F for about 15 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside to cool.
Step 7
For the cream, whisk 2 egg yolks with 1.5 cups of sugar and 0.75 cups of flour, then add milk and vanilla. Continuously stir (otherwise, lumps will form) over low heat until thickened. A little before it's done, add 100 g of butter and let it cool. IMPORTANT! Do not let the cream burn or boil, as it will result in a burnt taste or it won't thicken.
Step 8
Spread cream between the layers, trimming and leveling the edges beforehand, then sprinkle the top layer of the cake with the remaining crumbs.
Step 9
It’s best to let the cake soak for 5–6 hours.
Step 10
DONE! :)
