Covered with snow-white flakes, this Napoleon Log Cake is a perfect fit for this cool season. If you aren’t a baker, this will be your go-to recipe. The cake takes a few minutes to put together and it turns out absolutely delicious.

I love the Dulce De Leche in this cream, it adds great caramel flavor between crispy pieces of puff pastry.
Dulce De Leche Cakes
Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 sh Puff Pastry Dough
- 2 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 28 oz Dulce De Leche
- 1 cup White Chocolate
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flakes
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry dough. Cut it based on your preference of length and thickness.
- Lay out the strings on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Combine together dulce de leche with softened butter. Whisk until you get a creamy texture. I used my new OXO mixer, it's pretty handy to have a portable mixer.
- Line plate or cutting board with plastic wrap. Apply a bit of cream to it and start stacking baked puff pastry dough. Apply generous amounts of cream between each piece. Wrap the entire cake with a plastic wrap and let is sit overnight.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave, be sure to stir it every 30 second. Remove the wrap from the cake, cut off the cake sides and drizzle it with melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle the coconut flakes on top. Let it refrigerate until the chocolate firms up.
- Keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve.

hey Natasha, i'm going to make this but had a quick question. if i made it 24hrs or more in advance would it be to soggy or ok to serve even after a couple days?
This cake can be made a few days ahead, either way you dont want the layers to be all crunchy.
I made this cake and it exceeded my expectations! I wasn't expecting it to taste as good as it did. Everyone really liked it and I love how easy it was to put together. Only thing I would do different is had some heavy cream to the chocolate ganache. It got so stiff and hard so fast it was almost impossible to spread evenly everywhere and when eating it was very hard and stiff. Plus my family prefers milk, semi sweet or dark chocolate over white so I will use one of those. Adding a little bit of heavy cream to melt the chocolate will add a velvety sofness and better taste in my opinion. Wish I had a pic of the result but can't find it.
Thank you so much for your feedback on the cream. Totally agree, this cake is too easy to make π
Hello.How many oz is in 2 sheets of pastry that you use?I have one sheet from russian store that weights 16 oz but when I check online I find that pack of two Pepperidge Farm sheets weight 17.3 oz total.Thanks.
Honestly I have no idea. But this recipes doesnt have to be perfect, you can always make more cream if you wish π
Do I let it sit overnight in room temperature or refrigerator?
Best to refrigerate overnight.
