And most importantly, the preparation is very simple and quick! At the same time, it turns out to be less greasy (I do not add oil to the cream).
You do not need to bake the cakes. Everything is very simple and fast. That is why we call this cake "Napoleon for the Lazy" or "Lazy Napoleon".
I shared this recipe on my YouTube channel 3.5 years ago. During this time, many have already prepared it. Here are some comments below the recipe:
Making a custard. Beat eggs with sugar. I use a regular whisk.
Then I add flour, vanillin and some milk from the total.
I bring the rest of the milk to a boil, pour the prepared mixture into it in a thin stream. And I bring it to a boil. The cream should thicken.
I take it off the heat and let it cool. But you don't even need to cool it, but immediately use the hot cream - this way the cake will soak faster.
RECIPE:
• Puff pastry - 800 g
• Milk - 1 l
• Eggs - 3 pcs.
• Sugar - 100 g
• Flour - 90 g
• Vanillin
Collecting the cake. I put some cream on the bottom of the plate, then a layer of puff pastry. I have Ears cookies. Then another layer of cream and more cookies. Etc.
Cover the cake with cream on top and sprinkle with sand crumbs. And leave for 3-5 hours to soak. But I usually let the cake soak for about a day - it turns out softer and tastier.
It is very important: the taste of the finished cake depends on the taste of the cookies!!! Therefore, the cookies should be tasty, and not old anyway. Bad cookie = bad cake!
