If you are a lover of Russian gastronomy, you can’t miss this different format of the traditional Russian Napoleon Cake. This version is very easy to make and looks like a log. It is usually made tall, with at least eight tiers (and sometimes more than 20) of alternating layers of puff pastry and custard. Inspired by the French mille-feuille, it has become a Russian national dish.
