Ingredients
Meringue Napoleon Cake Layers
- 150 g unsalted butter room temperature
- 150 g margarine
- 3 cup flour
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 6 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
Meringue Napoleon Cake Cream
- 14 oz dulce de Leche
- 3 cup heavy whipping cream very cold
- 1 cup toasted walnuts crushed
Instructions
Napoleon Cake Layers
- Place the flour, butter and margarine into a large bowl. Using your hands or a butter cutter, mix everything together, until the mixture resembles small crumbles.
- Mix in the sour cream, baking soda and egg yolks. Mix until the dough is just combined, being extra careful not to over mix.
- Whip the egg whites together with the sugar until the texture turns thick.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, 8-10 inches in size.
- Roll the pieces into thin layers. Using a plate or lid of a pot as a stencil, slice the dough into circles. Apply 1/4-inch of meringue on top of each cake layer and sprinkle it with nuts.
- Bake each cake layer at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cream for Napoleon
- In a mixing bowl whip the cold heavy whipping cream with dulce de leche until you get soft peaks. (Its easy to over mix, keep an eye on it.)
Finalizing Napoleopn Cake
- To form the cake, apply small amount of cream to the plate and put the first cake layer down. Apply the cake cream in between each layer.
- Once finished with the last layer, place the meringue on the inside.
- Using your fingers, slightly press on the cake. Apply the rest of the cream to the outside. Enjoy!
