It is much faster and easier to make such a Napoleon cake made from puff pastry dough than the classic version of the recipe. Since the dough is completely ready, you do not need to knead and roll it out for a long time. I make Napoleon with a delicious custard in milk. If desired, the cream can be replaced with the one you like best.
Not everyone, and not always, has a lot of free time to make a cake for the holiday. Therefore, in my opinion, any housewife should have such quick recipes.

Making a Napoleon cake from ready-made puff pastry is as easy as shelling pears and the good news is that you don't have to waste time kneading the dough. I take a puff yeast-free dough, in a pack of 4 sheets, for a cake I need 6 leaves, that is, 1.5 packs. I immediately take it out of the package and leave it to defrost.
Sprinkle flour on the work surface, put the dough on it and roll it out a little. Then I put a plate on it and cut out a circle with a knife.
I put a sheet of parchment on a baking sheet, carefully lay out the cut circles on top. We also put the pieces that remained from the circle to bake, they will still come in handy. Then I make cuts on all the cakes so that they do not swell and bake well.
I put them to bake in the oven, at a temperature of 200 degrees, for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven and the thickness of the rolled cakes.
I bake all 6 cakes in the same way. It is not necessary to make the cake round, you can make it rectangular, it will be larger and you do not have to cut so much.
I break the cuts that have been baked into small pieces or chop them with a blender, which will only speed up the process.
Now I'm making a custard for the cake. It is quite simple to prepare. I first take out the butter from the refrigerator so that it melts. Pour sugar, flour into a saucepan with a thick bottom and drive in an egg.
I mix the added ingredients well to get a homogeneous mixture.
Then I start pouring in milk a little bit, stirring all the time.
When the mass is mixed, I put it on medium heat.
As soon as the cream boils, remove it from the heat and leave it to cool. If you like a very well-soaked cake, then feel free to make a double portion of the cream.
The longer the cream cools, the thicker it becomes. To make it cool faster, I put it in cold water. In principle, you can leave the cream like this and not add anything else to it, but since I want to show you a classic recipe, I need to finish it a little more.
In a bowl with already melted butter, add a couple of tablespoons of the cooled cream and mix.
Thus, I got a delicious custard for napoleon from ready-made puff pastry. If you take not butter, but a vegetable-butter mixture, you will get a cream with the same fine flakes as mine. This does not affect the taste in any way, but the view is certainly not ideal for him.
After that, I proceed to the formation of the dessert. I put the bottom cake on a tray or dish, coat it with cream, then leather again, and so on until the end.
The puff pastry napoleon with custard is almost done. Now I take the shredded scraps and sprinkle them on the top and sides of the cake.
Finally, I put the puff pastry napoleon in the refrigerator to soak. This will take 12 hours or more. From such a dough you can make, the preparation of which will take you a minimum of time. Bon Appetit!
There are times when you want to please guests or are close to something extraordinary, but there is no time or desire to spend a long time in the kitchen. I'm just one of those people :) Therefore, such a wonderful cake is my favorite. It is quick and easy to prepare, but it looks unusual and delicious!

First, I want to explain why "Cake-Pie". Firstly, it is done in a pan, a very quick, "lazy" version, so I classified it, nevertheless, with pies. Well, but in appearance and delicate, moderately sweet taste, after all, a cake. All the same, choux pastry and another option for making a quick and tasty dish from it !!! Why "Fenichka"? The day before yesterday I received a letter from Irochka, a cook at fene4 ka. She asked if I made cakes from this dough (which I recommend to everyone). So I went to the kitchen - my hands were itching to try it right away and not waste time. I thought a little, did not complicate anything. Choux pastry + custard from the available products. That is why I called this, albeit simple, but very delicate and tasty cake "Fenichka". This is Irishka's idea, thanks to her! I think this cake will help me out more than once! Or maybe it will come in handy for cooks who do not like to bother with baking or simply do not have an oven. I do not pretend to be original. There is no purpose to surprise someone. The recipe is very simple.
