Food is a product that we consume internally, it carries an energy charge transmitted from the person who cooked it, therefore, any dish prepared with our own hands with love and pleasant thoughts about those who will eat it, even if it looks plain, always tastier and healthier than what was bought in a store. And a handmade cake will truly be the first dish that guests will want to try as a dessert, and decorate the table.
There are a huge number of different types of "home" cakes, but making a delicious Napoleon cake is perhaps the most profitable option.
This delicacy comes from our childhood, each piece of it will evoke a series of pleasant memories, and the younger generation will appreciate it simply for its incomparable taste!
This cake consists of several (from 6 to 12) crispy cakes (almost always flaky), smeared with custard or cream (sour cream) cream. From above and from the sides it is covered (decorated) with crumbs obtained after trimming the cakes.
For you who want to win the hearts of home, especially your beloved men (among them there are also a lot of sweet tooth), we offer several "home" recipes (they can be prepared in your kitchen) that describe how to bake Napoleon cake quickly and tasty.
Cake Napoleon pastry recipe with margarine, sour cream and vodka
Composition (6 cakes)
A pack of margarine, flour (about two glasses), a glass of sour cream and a spoonful of vodka.
Cooking
Mix margarine and flour in a special way
- If the margarine is frozen, then grate it in a chip and pour it into a bowl with flour, mix everything.
- If the margarine is just cold, then we cut it into pieces and put them in a plate with flour. We take two knives and begin to shred the margarine with them, until a homogeneous butter and flour crumb is obtained.
- If the margarine is at room temperature, then put it in flour and rub it with your hands to the crumbs mentioned above, there should be no pieces of margarine.
Add sour cream and vodka and knead the dough with your hands until a homogeneous consistency.
Leave the dough in the refrigerator (stand for at least an hour).
Directly on a baking sheet we roll out the cakes and bake in a heated oven until a crispy crust (several minutes). So that the dough does not rise much, pierce it with a fork over the entire area. The cake is collected after the cake is completely cooled.
Napoleon cake dough recipe with oil, water and vinegar
Composition (12 cakes)
Two packs of butter, two glasses of cold water, a teaspoon of salt, citric acid 20 drops, premium flour (about four glasses), one egg, three tablespoons of vodka.
Cooking
Beat the egg lightly with salt, water, vinegar, acid and vodka. Add flour. Knead the dough, roll in the shape of a ball and set aside for half an hour. Mash butter with flour (four tablespoons) into a homogeneous mass. We stretch the dough like a flower with four petals, put the oil mixture in the middle and cover it with “petals”. The resulting square is folded in half so that a rectangle is obtained. Then put the dough in the refrigerator for ten minutes. We take it out, roll it out, fold it in, wrapping it the same way as the previous time, and send it to the refrigerator now for thirty minutes. The whole procedure is repeated with the difference that the residence time of the test in the refrigerator is increased to forty-five minutes. Bake in the same way as in the previous recipe.
