A light cake for Sunday. Pudding filling between buttery tops

Sunday Napoleon is a cake that owes its name to the use of puff pastry – light, shortcrust and buttery. It consists of delicate, golden tops layered with puddingwhich gives it a subtle sweetness and velvety texture. Although it sounds elegant, this dessert is extremely easy to prepare. Just bake the ready-made puff pastry and cover it with slightly cooled cream. Napoleonka, in this simplified version, is perfect for any occasion – both for a family dinner and a quick dessert for unexpected guests.

Ingredients:

• 2 sheets of puff pastry.

Cream:

• 500 ml of milk,
• 150 g of soft butter,
• 100 g sugar,
• 4 yolks,
• 2 tablespoons of potato flour,
• 2 tablespoons of wheat flour,
• teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Additionally:

• powdered sugar for sprinkling.

How to do it:

1. Unroll the puff pastry and cut a strip from each of them, approximately 2-3 cm wide, so that both have the same dimensions.
2. Pierce each top densely with a fork and put in the oven preheated to 200 degrees Celsius for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and cool. Also toast the cut off strips of dough. Crumble them finely and set aside.
3. Prepare the cream. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolks, both types of flour and about 100 ml of cold milk.
4. Boil the remaining milk with the remaining sugar and vanilla extract. Slowly pour in the egg yolk and flour mixture, stirring vigorously to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened. Remove everything from the heat and cover tightly with foil. Cool completely.
5. In a bowl, cream the soft butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the completely cooled pudding and mix until you obtain a smooth, light cream. Put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6. Assemble the dough. Place the first cake layer on a large tray or baking tray, then spread the entire custard cream and cover with the second cake layer. Press lightly.
7. Place the Sunday Napoleon in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. Serve cold, sprinkled with previously prepared cake crumble and powdered sugar.
