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!

NAPOLEON
A perfectly layered napoleon is a showstopping dessert; slicing it, however, can be a tricky matter. Don't be discouraged if yours doesn't cut neatly into serving pieces; even if it's slightly flattened and oozing pastry cream, each bite will still be delicious.

Steps:
- Make puff pastry strips: Lightly flour a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out dough into a 16-by-18-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick, being careful not to press too hard around the edges. Using a pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut rectangle crosswise into thirds, with each strip 6 by 16 inches. Transfer to a baking sheet; dock, or pierce, the dough all over with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap; place in refrigerator 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Transfer to oven; bake until strips are puffed and golden all over, about 14 minutes. Set a baking sheet directly on pastry strips, and continue baking until pastry is cooked through and well browned, about 6 minutes. Remove top baking sheet; bake 4 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, trim each to 4 1/4 by 12 inches.
- Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream just to a boil. Place dark chocolate in a bowl, and pour hot cream over chocolate; whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined. Whisk in corn syrup. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
- Place white chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until chocolate is melted, and remove from heat. Let cool.
- Using an offset spatula, spread dark chocolate glaze over one side of the flattest puff pastry strip, making sure to coat entire surface. Place white chocolate in a piping cone; pipe thin lines 3/4 inch apart across width of chocolate-coated strip. To create the distinctive flourish, gently drag the tip of a paring knife or a skewer lengthwise through both coatings, in lines perpendicular to the white chocolate lines. Begin at one of the short ends, and make each line 3/4 inch apart. Alternate the direction each time.
- Place one of the unglazed puff pastry strips on a serving tray. Spread half the pastry cream over the top, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Top with remaining unglazed pastry strip; press down gently, and repeat with remaining pastry cream. Top with glazed pastry strip. Transfer to refrigerator, and chill 30 minutes uncovered. Using a long serrated knife, cut into six pieces, and serve.
NAPOLEON TORTE
This delicious torte takes some time to assemble, but it is well worth the effort. For a variety you may add chopped fresh fruit or berries, melted chocolate, or chopped nuts may be added to the fillings. This recipe is baked in Ukraine too.

NAPOLEON TORTE
Posted by request. Times do not include chill times and are estimates. Sounds good, albeit labor-intensive. Adapted from two Napoleon Torte recipes from recipegoldmine.com and cdkitchen.com, so it is somewhere between the Lithuanian and Ukranian version of this torte.

- The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit 15 minutes or until dough is pliable enough to be rolled out.
- Roll each disc into a paper-thin circle on a lightly-floured surface, then prick all over with a fork and bake at 375F for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.
