Lazy Napoleon in a hurry: no need to roll out the dough
For traditional Napoleon, puff pastry is usually used. But to make the dessert really tasty, you need to roll out the cakes well and bake them until they are evenly golden brown. Therefore, you can use a simpler technology, for which the dough is simply cut and laid out.
The idea of making the Napoleon cake was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Valentyna Sayenko (valya__saenko).
