RUSSIAN NAPOLEON CAKE (NAPOLYEON TORT)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar together until creamy.
- Fold in the sour cream, stiffly beaten egg whites, vodka, and salt.
- Gently fold in the flour, a spoonful at a time, until the dough is soft and pliable. You might not need all of it.
- Wrap in plastic and chill for 1 to 2 hours to make it easier to roll out.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 F and butter a baking sheet and dust with flour.
- Divide the pastry dough into 10 pieces. Roll out each portion of dough, one at a time, directly on the prepared baking sheet into a very thin 8-inch circle.
- Bake each circle of pastry until golden brown, about 6 to 10 minutes. If dough bubbles as it cooks, pierce with a fork.
- As each layer is cooked, remove from the sheet pan and set aside to cool on a wire rack. Repeat until all dough pieces have been baked.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Pour the milk into a large saucepan and heat, but do not boil.
- In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks, egg white, and sugar until creamy.
- Add 6 tablespoons flour and mix well.
- Pour this mixture into the warm (but not scalding hot) saucepan of milk, stirring initially with a whisk until smooth and then with a wooden spoon, constantly over low heat until thick and creamy.
- Add the butter and vanilla and stir until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Stir frequently as the mixture cools.
- Place one layer of the cooked dough in the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan and cover evenly with a layer of cooled custard filling.
- Continue to build up the cake in this way, layering the custard on top of the pastry, finishing with the 9th pastry layer.
- Crumble the 10th and final pastry and layer over the top of the torte. Refrigerate for 5 to 6 hours.
- When ready to serve, run a butter knife around the edges of the cake, remove the springform ring, and, using a cake lifter or two spatulas, carefully transfer to a serving platter.
- Use an electric knife to get nice, clean cuts and serve.
- Enjoy!
