Napoleon Cake without Eggs

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Butter - 14.1 oz
Kefir - 1 cup
Citric Acid - 0.4 oz
Condensed Milk - 1 can
Vanilla salt - to taste
Orange zest - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Dough: Grate a pack of butter on a coarse grater (it's better to place it in the freezer for a few hours before preparation). Mix the butter with the flour. Try to knead the dough very quickly so that the butter does not warm up. Add citric acid (or juice) to the kefir, gradually pour the liquid into the dough, and mix everything thoroughly. Divide the dough into several pieces (according to the number of layers), wrap in parchment paper, and leave in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 2

Cream: Mix the orange zest, butter, vanilla, and condensed milk. Whip at maximum speed with a blender and refrigerate.

Step 3

Roll each piece of prepared dough into a thin layer. Bake in the oven at 518°F until a golden crust forms. Spread the layers with cream and stack one on top of the other. You can bake the leftover layers, crumble them, and use the crumbs to decorate the cake.
