Napoleon Cake Recipe | Russian Torte Napoleon

Napoleon cake is one of the national desserts of Russia made with up to 16 layers of crispy pastry filled with creamy custard. It is similar to French mille-feuille but with more layers of alternating custard and pastry. The exact recipes can vary from chef to chef: this Napoleon cake recipe yields a 10-layer cake saving you some time and avoiding the potential pitfalls of a higher delicacy.

It takes a little time to make but the reward of a soul-satisfying dessert is more than worth it. It’s an impressive pie that’s sure to impress your guests. You’ll have a few egg whites left over but don’t throw them away. Make an egg white omelet or two and a delicious meringue for pie.

"If you want to make a Napoleonic dessert without using puff pastry this might be a great alternative for you! This recipe looks more complicated than it is and produces a showstopper dessert." – Tracy Wilk
