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.
Foreigners, try this cake you will not regret. This is the most delicious cake from simple

I am in the US and will try it soon!
Yes it’s my favourite cake ❤️
Honey cake is better
I have tried and im really into it
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 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!
Thank you
Very kind
Thanks 😊
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.
❤
Me also
Bvv
No one cares
I wouldn't be surprised if this cake is expensive. It takes a lot of work.imagine baking that pastry one at a time😲. So much dedication❤❤❤. It looks yummy and pretty
The local Lithuanian club here in Cleveland makes them for $115 with a 2 week advance notice. Worth it, but homemade was how Grandma made it.
this is an amazing cake to make. looks difficult but with your clear directions no speaking to complicate the method an EASY RECIPE TO DO
I have had this cake before freshly made and omfg beats all cakes.. the vanilla custard and eat layer has a crispy crunch in it and then custard again. Best cake around
First time making this cake and it turned out better than I thought it would, definitely worth the time and effort
It is by far the tastiest cake 👍

IT looks Delicious, i'll make this recipe. 😋
This was beautiful to watch! 😍 and I bet delicious when eaten! 😆
You are really talented!!
Это самый популярный торт в России , аналогов в мире нет!
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.
Looks delicious, thank you for sharing. Take time, patience. Lots of steps. I do appreciate this.
Thanks for the post, Whatta wonderful cake this is and it looks so tempting and I'm sure it gonna taste like heaven , indeed this is simply amazing. Once again thank you very much for the puffy recipe medical student Malaysia God bless. 🙏👍😋
I'm going to make this for new years for my russian family lol, thanks for the recipe!
In Chile 🇨🇱 we a similar cake but we put dulce de leche. We call it torta milhojas. A thousand layer cake.
😋
The cake looks very delicious 😋
God it took me 6 hours and half to make this cake , cant wait till the morning to taste it .
How was it?
Buttery goodness. Are you a professional pastry chef? Presentation is so clean and elegant.
Thank you! Not a professional 😊
Muito delicioso e não parece ser difícil fazer,obrigado.
It took me 3 and a half hours to make this cake, but I made it. I hope tomorrow my guests will like it 🤕😋
Did ur guest like it? I hope u did great..
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 🙏🏻
Merci pour la recette bien détaillé
Fantastic
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.
i appreaciate it ur video, my babushka who has colestrol she died after ur recipe we used 2 galon butter for napeleon cake thx we lost our babushka but we win aww cake
Mmmmmm.... That looks like crepe cake. Napoleon cake taste so good. That taste so creamy and fluffy cake. Great dish. See u next time.
Really great bravo! ooh the famous Russian cake by excellence, I love it! I will try it. Thank you.
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? 😋
This looks like the best recipe on youtube and the fact that you use shun knives as well I'm fixed on making it now! wish me luck :)
Good luck 👍
Good ill try
I spent 7 hours of making this cake TBH 😂🙏🏻
Same 😂
Ok
Worth it ? Or not
@@wisambasha2071 of course!! This is my favourite cake 😊
I can make it within 2 hours maximum.
I'll try this for my mother's birthday :)
c'est excellent !
Mon estomac réclame cette douceur :) :)
Amazing looking cake (pie?) that would be unbelievably delicious!!!!
Glen & Friends Cooking . it is!
Или торт не пропитался или не получился, обычно, наполеон легко отламывается вилкой или ложкой. А те усилия, которые прикладываете вы чтобы отломить кусочек похожи на занятия в тренажерном зале
Traditionally when making puff pastry, there are multiple folds. I noticed there wasn't any folding. Is that to avoid it getting too puffy?
yeah it sure is
Wow amazing sir!!!! Very nice recipe keep it up so yummy 🎂 😘😘😘
Can i do this with ready puff pastry dough?
Yes
Que rico está me encanta mucho
i am in love wow
😃😃😯
salam
That looks easy to follow and delicious!
😍
Its good ,thanks, we have the same cake in Algeria, an old cake, we call it Greek cake
Cake is very sweet
Amazing with espresso or doppio, with bitter coffee😊
Spent almost the whole day making this cake. The custard cream is too runny. Can I add more cornstarch next time?
Maravilhoso 👏💓👏
How long can the cake lasts in the fridge?
My favourite!
my favorite cake in the world
mmmmm YUMMY
Can’t wait to try this out ❤️😍
رووووووعة so nice 👍 👏
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.
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.
Muy delicioso
Maravilhoso 😋
merci bcp chef
Muy riquísimo
Unica
Súper súper rico
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🙂
Just flour, not bread, not cake, just flour, there will be only wheat flour and nothing else 😊
I followed exactly the instructions on making the cream, but somehow my cream is not thickened. Please advise.
Nice
I love this 🍰 cake
I had two main issues with the dough in my try(this recipe is my fourth attempt at making napolean dough, with the other three landed in the trash). The first being that it was very sticky and needed A'LOT of extra flour while kneading(I used all purpose unbleached flour, which I think was the culprit with the cold water). The second was that it was not evenly heating up and was warping a bit that kept it from being flat (Might have been an oven issue, as it typically took 15 minutes or more to golden/brown as well). I'll also admit I didn't read the notes part about the processor, with mine being not big enough and so did not mix well after jamming all that flour and butter in it while going at high speed. Very little butter got mixed, and because it was so full and was going fast it created a think mix at the bottom that kept the blades from moving anything from the top downwards. I took it all out and instead mixed the butter clumps and flour by hand, which was a little tedious to say the least. At the end, I made 9 layers(one got sacrificed for being too warped) and none of the cream went to waste(Can't have enough of the stuff it seems) and was able to take out some frustration on making a bag of crumbs.
There is nothing to blame on the mirror, if your hands are crooked (Russian proverb)
My reply to Ignis King. It was hilarious.Something like that would happen to me if I tried it!Thanks for the laugh.
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?
Only in Russia can they name a cake after a former enemy😅
😂😂😂
Won't the overnight chilling make the layers soggy?
❤
So, now Napoleon is Russian too. I just wonder,how comes......
Look like kerala chattipathiri... 😊same ingredients 🤗
does anyone know if you can freeze this well?
I wonder can we add walnuts in the cream?

If possible, make the layer more thin, because your cake looks too chewy... I personally think it tastes better when not that chewy...
Agreed! I thought the same about the layers being too thick.

Aay
So creative!
10. Refrigerate the cake over night.
That’s impossible !
Hey i saw on facebook your vid has been taken for someone else and they put their own company logo on that.
First emperor of France, now this????
*c o o l*
can you refrigerate the dough over night?
