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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Thaw puff pastry dough. Cut it based on your preference of length and thickness.
    Puff pastry cut into long strips
  • 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.
    2 jars of dulce de leche and 5 sticks of butter on the table
  • 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.
