Nothing makes me happier than seeing how you recreate my recipes for yourself and your loved ones. If you try this recipe, I’d love to see it! Feel free to upload a photo in the comment section on my website: thecookingfoodie.com/recipe/napoleon-cake-recipe/ You have no idea how much it fuels me and motivates me to create more delicious recipes for you! 😊
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.
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!
I’ll soon do this cake but I didn’t really understand your instructions. You mean I should leave more cream for the layers or should I make more of the cream and if so, what portions? ;)
Almost like my grannies recipe 😊 although for the outer crumbs, I like to crush and pan fry Marie biscuits instead of using the leftover dough. It really complements the cream and gives the outer sides a slight twist to the taste ❤ generally 7 hours of work but soooo worth it.
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
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
This will look good and new! on the New Year's Eve dinner table. Some similarities with Sans Rival but I prefer the flavour profile of your Napoleon. Thank you, The Cooking Foodie. The most meaningful Christmas and the best of 2025 for you and your family.
This is great I’ve been planning to make this all year but will make it next year. It’s a lot of work but worth it. I love how yours looks and I don’t want to make it I just want to eat it
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? 😋
It is tradition in the Lithuanian community here! My Grandma made it for our birthdays too! Best cake I've ever had so here's hoping this one turns out as good. Just need that layer of apricot spread in the middle to make it like hers.
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.
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.
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. 🙏👍😋
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
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🙂
The origin of the Napoleon cake is obscured; Some claim that the origin of this cake comes from Hungary, some Russia, some France. Originally named "mille-feuille", the Napoleon cake was supposedly brought to Russia by the French in the early 19th century.
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 🙏🏻
Can I ask please may be such a silly question,but i am fairly new in baking?i am currently living in Scotland 🏴 and I don’t know where to buy cornstarch,so can I change it with something else and if the answer is no ,where I can purchase it from and is there is a different name for it please ? One more time ,sorry for the daft question! ;))
I find it hard to believe you can't buy a conrstarch in any grocery store. Anywas, there's no starch in the original recipe, just eggs, sugar, butter, milk and a bit of brendy, keep it on the fire until it's thick enough.
No, the blender one is a bad idea. You can grate the butter and mix it into the flour or cut cubes of butter and mix it in, the grating one is much easier.
make sure the butter is very cold and try to work quickly with your hands. watch “rough puff pastry” videos on RUclips to get the hang of it, it’s a similar process (though this one doesn’t seem to require much laminating, easier!)
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

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.
First time making this cake and it turned out better than I thought it would, definitely worth the time and effort
My best friend used to make this cake for our birthdays! So delicious! I’m going to attempt it💕
Just made one based on your recipe, absolutely amazing!

Это самый популярный торт в России , аналогов в мире нет!

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.
Cake is very sweet
Amazing with espresso or doppio, with bitter coffee😊
This cake is god in the cake world. When fresh and oh my beeping god
Can’t wait to try this out ❤️😍

How long can the cake lasts in the fridge?
Can i do this with ready puff pastry dough?
Yes
Que rico está me encanta mucho
God it took me 6 hours and half to make this cake , cant wait till the morning to taste it .
How was it?
So creative!
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.
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
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 😊
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..
My favourite!
Muy riquísimo
Its good ,thanks, we have the same cake in Algeria, an old cake, we call it Greek cake
merci bcp chef
Looks nice tnx!
Nice plz tel me its weight 1 lb or ?
Good idea
Won't the overnight chilling make the layers soggy?
Muy delicioso
4:30
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.

Súper súper rico
Omgggg so delicious 😍😍😍😍
I wonder can we add walnuts in the cream?
I love this 🍰 cake
I followed exactly the instructions on making the cream, but somehow my cream is not thickened. Please advise.
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 🙏🏻
Can I ask please may be such a silly question,but i am fairly new in baking?i am currently living in Scotland 🏴 and I don’t know where to buy cornstarch,so can I change it with something else and if the answer is no ,where I can purchase it from and is there is a different name for it please ? One more time ,sorry for the daft question! ;))
I find it hard to believe you can't buy a conrstarch in any grocery store. Anywas, there's no starch in the original recipe, just eggs, sugar, butter, milk and a bit of brendy, keep it on the fire until it's thick enough.
InqInst sorry totally my mistake! I just didn’t know what exactly starch means! The life of foreigners! Lol 😆
You could get corn flour instead 😀
Yams Williams thanks for the suggestion! Sounds easier to me ❤️
mmmmm YUMMY
Hello! If I don't have a food processor can I directly put the butter and flour in the blender or what should I do?
Thank you
No, the blender one is a bad idea. You can grate the butter and mix it into the flour or cut cubes of butter and mix it in, the grating one is much easier.
make sure the butter is very cold and try to work quickly with your hands. watch “rough puff pastry” videos on RUclips to get the hang of it, it’s a similar process (though this one doesn’t seem to require much laminating, easier!)
can you refrigerate the dough over night?
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
Unica
Spent almost the whole day making this cake. The custard cream is too runny. Can I add more cornstarch next time?
Which flour was used...?
Hey i saw on facebook your vid has been taken for someone else and they put their own company logo on that.
So lecker echt empfehlenswert sollte man probieren.
menschlich sozial tolerant finde ich auch!
Sehr schön ausgeführt. Ich liebe Cremeschnitten
