I was reminded of this beautiful cake as soon as I made my Honey Cake video. Napoleon is another classic cake from my childhood. It has a similar construction as honey cake - it is made by assembling several layers of pastry with a filling sandwiched in between; then the cake is covered with crumbs made from the leftover pastry.

Puff pastry is used for the layers and there are two fillings – pastry cream and jam. The cake is left to sit in the fridge for a whole day to let the pastry absorb the filling so that it becomes nice and moist. The result is a soft and light cake which is not very sweet because there is no sugar in the pastry. It goes perfectly with a cup of coffee.
