Napoleon cake actually has nothing to do with Napoleon. One theory is that its English name Napoleon is actually a misinformation of Napolitain, referring to the name of a pastry from Naples, Italy. It is still written as Napoleon. In the 17th century, a cake maker in Paris made a bet with someone to make a 100-layer cake. There is no record of how many layers were finally made at that time. Nowadays, only three layers are usually made. It is unclear whether it was because the three layers were too short, so it was named after the dwarf giant Napoleon. The French name of Napoleon cake is Mille feuille, which means one million layers of pastry, so it is also called mille-feuille.

The French classic dessert Napoleon Cake is made up of multiple layers of puff pastry sandwiched with custard. It has a soft and tender texture. Although the ingredients of Napoleon cake are simple, the preparation method really tests the craftsmanship of the maker. The loosened puff pastry should be sandwiched with smooth custard while keeping the puff pastry dry to avoid affecting the crispy texture.

Someone has specially designed a variety of new flavors of Napoleon cake, bringing a new experience to the traditional French May cuisine. The new Napoleon cake is made from novel ingredients such as strawberry, mango, blueberry, raspberry, cherry, chocolate chips, Italian cheese and meringue, including six flavors of mixed fruit, blueberry, honey pear, mango, black forest and Italian cheese. , in addition to the fresh combination of ingredients and the soft and crisp pastry, the appearance design pays attention to layering and creativity, giving the Napoleon cake a completely new image.

So the Napoleon cake is just named after Napoleon, and the two have nothing to do with each other.
