I have two cakes in a row, I want to "bake" today .... there is no air conditioner in the kitchen, I don't want to turn on the oven again. I'll start running then with a report
fomca
Inna, good luck !!!! Say at least a couple of words later !!

Sveta, thank you very much for the wonderful cake! I did it for my husband's birthday, everyone really liked it. True, the cakes did not rise at all, but she took the number of cakes. I did a double portion. They said about the cream that it looks like ice cream))
Here's what I got.
Napoleon cake (family recipe)
Vei
Ol, how many cakes are there? and how much dough did you bake? Come on, tell me everything - diameter, quantity!
runaway
2 norms of dough and cream. The cream was designed perfectly, there was no excess left and was not dry. I got 16 cakes, 20 cm in diameter, but there are a lot of scraps, I had to make a larger diameter. I didn't measure the height, but I think it was 12 cm. Weight about 2 kg.
fomca
Olga, I look like there is puffiness in the cakes. And you didn't knead the dough for a long time, why didn't the cakes rise? Tell us how it was! What were the cakes like, were they bubbling in places or generally flat like plywood?
The fact that you liked the cake is good, but you also need to bring the cakes to mind.
And the weight turned out to be too small. Look, a shot of cream alone about 800 g and cakes one serving about 1000 g.
For the report and a seductive cut - THANKS!)))))
Plague
Sorry for the delay. Reporting! Made in two portions, rectangular cakes, approx. 20 * 27. The cream turned out without problems, nothing was delicious !!! I can't say the same about the cakes ... the layering seemed to be present, but all the same, I did not give some oaky ones to the customers, I left them at home ... and on the second and third days "Napoleon" chewed with difficulty. I will leave it, I will try again, because I myself love this cake, and no matter how I am an Armenian daughter-in-law, my status is supposed to have a puff cake in the assortment

Inna, thanks for the photo report. Oak cakes - I went too far with flour. Delayed kneading dough. The dough should be sticky. Lie down a little, cool down. And then it is better to do the dust with flour when rolling.
And my neighbors are Armenians. Their indigenous pastry is honey cake with sour cream. Such a dry one))) And in my family, the honey cake does not at all perceive it as a cake, unfortunately.

I am light to you
I read it, saw enough and decided, at least not to say that I love Napoleon, but all of a sudden I just didn’t taste delicious I’m carrying a photo - for an objective assessment - whether it looks like it or not:
1) Here is a comparison of rolled and baked cake - is it considered normal to rise?
Napoleon cake (family recipe)

2) I was afraid for some reason that the cakes would not rise and rolled them out by 20 cm in diameter, and after baking they "dried up" to 18 cm. In total, 12 cakes were made from one portion, in the photo not everything is simple. Some are too "tanned", but now I understand for sure that my oven is bad, it bakes as I please, although I suspected it before

The total height of the stack of non-pressed cakes was 12 cm, and the total weight was 650 g.

Natasha, I look from the phone, I increase it as much as I can. It seems to be similar. Everything worked out.
Thank you for such a detailed report on cake baking. Now we are waiting for a piece of the collected cake.
fomca
Girls, raised their notes once more. The weight of the cakes per serving is about 600 gr.
NataST
The light has not passed even half a year - I have a cut. True, it did not work out so beautiful
In general, so - on Friday morning I collected it, stood for an hour on the table, then under the press and in the refrigerator. In the evening I cut it in the shape of a volcano. I tried the scraps - just crispy flaky Napoleon - just like real, but only delicious - the cream is everywhere, otherwise in the shops - they spit in the middle and that's it.In general, even I, not a special lover of such cakes, liked the taste. We ate the cake on Sunday evening, that is, for 2.5 days I had it assembled, it became more monolithic, dense, the layering was compressed, it also remained tasty, but it looks less like Napoleon. I liked the crunchy one more. I will definitely try to do it again somehow, purely like a cake - just to eat It's not problematic to do, a good recipe - thanks !!! The cream is really very precisely calculated

Natasha, but in general - WHAT IS NECESSARY !!!!!!!! Directly delicious !!!! Thank you for a detailed description of the baking process itself and the assembly of the cake !!!!! This is for you!
Kirieshka
Svetlana. Thank you so much for the recipe .. I took a lot of photos, and my son, shilopopa, got to the fotik and deleted everything - so I did not have a photo report, just in words ... The recipe is simple, both in batch and in preparation-- the cakes turned out to be crunchy on the first day and juicy on the second .. the only deviation from the recipe is - instead of baking powder - I added soda and vinegar .. It bakes quickly, but not very many cakes - by weight it turned out to be a place with cream - 1.5 kg. .. Everyone liked the cake .. my husband really said. which is a bit fat - but Napoleon is really not for an amateur, which he is not .. So - I took it into my recipes - I will offer my clients to a few ...
fomca
Ludmila, thanks for the tip! Yes, Napoleons, then they are different ... This recipe is the most favorite among my household, and to order I often also make Gulin's recipe for "wet" Napoleon!
GenyaF
Brightwing! I'm with your Napoleon too

Napoleon cake (family recipe)

Tistechko is very simple, baked in a pizza maker. I only made custard cream, next time I'll do it with yours. She is eating a pretzel by both cheeks, I really liked the cake! Thank you, dear Comrade, for now our family cake)))
fomca
Zhenya, glad I liked the cake .... But I think that with custard, this is a different type of Napoleon - "wet", so to speak. Namely, with this cream, which is described here, you get a completely different cake - crunchy, fatty))) I'll wait when you try this one and what will the "pretzel" say
GenyaF
Understood everything, chief))) Your next Napoleon with your cream.
fomca
And to show what Napoleon I have today - to my husband on the DR ?! Krutetsky !!!!!
In secret - I had a custom-made cake for that day, but we don't need anything else for our favorite composition !!!!

Ltd! Brightwing! With DR spouse! Health and happiness to the birthday man and the whole family!
Such a hearty Napoleon))))
VictoriaCam
Sveta, how neat and even!
And I'm with a report! Delicious, delicious! In general, I thought I loved wet Napoleon. So I was looking for him. But I stumbled upon an appetizing light cut and really wanted to try crispy napoleon. I baked it in the evening, tried it in the morning, evening came - no cake! My husband ate a little, took 3 small pieces to work, well, the children ate a little, I ate the rest, that is, half `` into one '' was probably gone.
That's it, tomorrow is a fasting day. The recipe is in the '' assortment '' customized. the cream came out a little when cutting, but something like this
Napoleon cake (family recipe)
The question is, under matic potatoes to level up? My dough was deformed when transferred to a baking sheet, how do you get it so smoothly? Then it is difficult to cut
VictoriaCam
Damn, I read the comments ... I'd rather not write that I ate the cake in a day ... it's a shame. You have it for 3 days! Kapets, here I am a glutton.
I forgot to write about the weight. I measured only baked cakes. Considering that what "ugly" stuck out was broken and eaten, then 700 grams came out somewhere. But! I had a very large egg and added flour. And so it would also be around 600 grams.
A couple of cakes remained, the cream was not enough for me.
fomca
Victoria, oh, laugh, you are our glutton !!!! Yes, if only for health)))
The incision, as I already told you, I approved, there is enough cream. And I immediately roll the cakes on paper and cut them to size before baking. Roll out as Gulya taught, from the middle in different directions.
And under the mastic I trim the sides a little with the "native" cream, it is possible with ground trimmings, and then butter and chocolate.Recently I made it under mastic, clients are happy, but I don't really like how chocolate interrupts the taste, for home only with crumbs!
thrill
Sveta, please accept from me a big thank you for the recipe. The weight of the finished cakes is 600g. Raw cake diameter 25 cm - 10 pcs. Baked 23 cm.
I missed the cream, I look at some he is not 23 cm, I measure 25 cm behind the ruler))))) parted after layering with cream.

And this is after two hours of impregnation. Crunchy Yes, cream - cream is expensive with us, so I took sour cream 400 gr
(for some reason I managed to get more cakes) and then follow the recipe.

Love, maaaaloooo you stood there. A couple of hours at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. Some people like the taste on the second, third day !!!! I can imagine how you crunch! So what if it turned out more cakes, maybe you had a big testicle.
Thank you very much for the report and photo !!!
But try it tomorrow and write it, okay?

maaaaloooo you stood there.
Yes, not enough, but it was already tasty for us))) But we did not eat it after two hours of standing, but only pinched the edges. And I cut it off for you.
We had the patience to wait another hour and then we ate. He became a little softer.

Svetlana, I can't even decide how it tastes better for us)) And a little with a crust is very tasty in the morning
ate after a night in the refrigerator was also very tasty.
Great recipe! Thank you very much !
svetamakss
Svetochka, and I made a cake according to your recipe. It’s a pity that I can’t add a photo, but trust me, he’s DELICIOUS! At first I thought that there would not be enough cream, but it was just right. When I started to cut it in the morning, I thought it would be a little dry, but at the first bite everything became clear !!! This is a delicious cake! And this despite the fact that I have never loved Napoleon! The husband kissed the cake, and then took a couple of pieces to work. THANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL RECIPE !!!
svetamakss
Yes, I forgot to write that I had 11 cakes, the weight of the finished cake is 1.6 kg
fomca
Svetlana, thanks for coming with the report!
What a clever person you are, that even far from home, you try to create warmth and comfort for your dearest ones! Don't worry about the photo - I believe!
Olka I
Well, well, well .... This will be the next cake that I will take on the very first weekend, I heard about it, I dream to try it :-)

Olga, it's so interesting to watch you as you master the entire forum, and not just confectionery topics)))
I will wait!

sitting there laughing at me, huh? and here I’m groping slowly like a fool)) I will not write anything, so as not to burn))
fomca
Ol, what does it feel? The forum is very accessible, the activity feed is on all the time. And you can learn to cook absolutely everything and get an answer to any question not related to the kitchen.
And many of our girls rarely go out of cake topics and it's a pity! (
Olka I
fomca, Light, it just began to reach me, initially I thought that there were only cakes and that's it)) now I’m already watching the tape)) I’m learning / getting used to it
Mom Tanya
Olka I, Olya, do you use the search bar? There are literally a million questions answered on our HP !!!
Olka I
Mom Tanya, well, you’re a fool of me, don’t do that :-) of course I use the search, I just didn’t notice anything on HP before, except for cakes, but for the life of the topic I like to read and write on another forum :-) now I look and there are many interesting things , but censorship works here and bloggers are not quite my age :-)

EgeVika
fomca, can you please tell me if it is possible to bake cakes in advance? and where to store them?
fomca
EgeVika, where are you disappearing, huh?
The cakes can be baked in two days, we store them wrapped in a linen or cotton towel at room temperature.
metel_007
Svetochka, your cake has been in my bookmarks for a long time. I did it to my husband on the DR on December 2 and completely (during a booze, partying) forgot to report. Everyone really liked the cake, everyone praised me, and therefore you. Thank you very much for the wonderful cake.
EgeVika
fomca, but here I am))) I haven't posted anything here for a long time, everything is in social networks, but I've already baked the cakes, the dough is pleasant to work with, only I want to make a custard cream, everyone loves wet napoleons
metel_007
EgeVika, I also always made "Napoleon" with custard (according to my grandmother's recipe for fifty years), but this cream wins in terms of the richness of taste unambiguously. Try it once to see what to compare with.
EgeVika
metel_007, there is time, maybe I'll really try this option))
EgeVika
Girls, help out! All night I thought about the cream from the recipe, maybe I really try it. The thing is, this cake will be a gift, the family loves Napoleons, plus there will be guests. It will turn out my experiment will immediately come out "in the people"))). A responsibility. But even so many good reviews do not give me peace, I want for some reason not to deviate from the recipe .. As far as I understand, there is a crust in the cake? Will it cut into thin pieces without problems?
thrill
EgeVika, on the second day there is no crunch, it is cut without problems) Cream is much tastier to me than custard.
fomca
Olga, very good that the cake was appreciated, I'm glad !!!!
EgeVikamight better clarify which one they prefer Napoleon. Because everyone has different tastes. And for me, the firmness in the cake remains on the second day. It needs to be chewed.
