Russian Napoleon Cake Recipe | Napoleon Torte | Торт Наполеон Рецепт

Today I'm going to show you how to make the most requested video on my YouTube channel which is Napoleon Russian Cake. This cake has 12 delicious layers filled with creamy vanilla custard. And it's so amazing, so delicious, looks fantastic. It does take some time to make this cake but I try to simplify it for you guys because I know not everyone has 30-50 hours to make this. hope you surprise your family for this coming holiday and let's get baking take the cup of your cold water and add your vodka in there add vinegar different bowl add your eggs a pinch of salt add your eggs into your water mixture cut your butter into cubes add flour into your food processor add your butter we're looking for nice and sandy consistency add a little bit of your egg mixture and keep mixing until it's all combined place your dough onto your cling film and we're going to wrap that and leave that in the fridge for about an hour and a half take each piece of the dough and roll it into a ball so i'm going to use the back of my baking dish i'm going to add some flour on top and we're going to roll out our dough on here straight away because it's very thin and we can't really transfer it so just place your dough and slowly roll it out use a plate or anything that's a circular shape to make sure your cake is exactly the same so just press on top then go around the circle with your knife and we are going to keep all the sides so just push them away and we're going to cook them together then we need to prick our pastry so it doesn't puff up the more pricks you do the better it will be for the pastry here it is last cake layer so now i've got 12 nice round layers now we're going to assemble our cake i've lined it with some cling film on the bottom then we add our second layer and we repeat the process until all the layers are covered in cream. I'm adding my last layer on top. It's covered with a lid, so take any pan lid that you have in a house and just press down on the cake. And I'm gonna wrap it again in cling film and place it into the fridge. Okay, I just got my cake out. I'm just gonna wrap that. So I have kept all the scraps from the cake, so we're just gonna blitz them. And we're gonna cover it from all the sides. And then we're going to do the same on top. so here it is nice and done so beautiful look at that so you can serve it like this but I like to decorate it with some melted chocolate and maybe some fresh berries on top it just makes it look so much more celebratory
