The recipe is taken from the book "About delicious vegan food". "In principle, you can tinker and make puff pastry with your own hands, but I personally prefer to buy ready-made frozen yeast-free dough. The main thing is to find a package marked "Lenten product", which means that the dough will not contain eggs or butter. Depending on how high you want to make the Napoleon, you will need 1 or 2 packages, respectively, 2 or 4 sheets of dough. My recipe is designed for a low cake. As practice shows, it is quite enough for a company of girls of different ages celebrating another 18th birthday over tea. For your beloved grandmother, who probably has high cholesterol, this is also a great option.

Napoleon Cake is one of the most popular desserts, a Russian Soviet millefeuille. There are several legends about the origin of the cake. The most famous one: the cake was prepared by Russian chefs for the centenary of Napoleon Bonaparte's escape from Russia. The cake was baked in the shape of a triangle, which symbolized Napoleon's hat, the sugar crumbs on top of the cake referred to the harsh Russian winter that frightened and drove away the French, and its tendency to crumble at the first movement is a symbol of the victory over Napoleon's army. Of course, other countries have their own version of the origin of the famous cake, but the preparation principle remains unchanged: thin layers of dough that are connected with sweet custard.
