Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a Napoleon snack cake from canned cakes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose canned fish according to your taste. I used salmon, but any other canned food in oil will do. Hard-boil chicken eggs in advance. Also boil the carrots and cool.

Step 2

Step 2
Remove the package of puff pastry from the refrigerator and defrost according to the instructions on the package. Divide the dough into five parts. Roll out each part to about 5 mm thick.

Step 3

Step 3
Using a pastry ring, cut out circles of equal size. If you are making a rectangular or square cake, use a ruler. No matter what shape your cake will be, the main thing is to cut the cakes the same size.

Step 4

Step 4
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Lay out the first circle of dough, distribute the trimmings at some distance from each other. Prick the dough with a fork and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Since everyoneʼs oven bakes differently, times may vary. When the cake turns golden, remove it.

Step 5

Step 5
If you donʼt have a silicone mat, line a baking sheet with baking paper. You should get five cakes. Transfer them to a plate and cool. Also transfer the trimmings to a separate container and do not cover them with anything to prevent them from getting damp. You will need them for sprinkling the cake.

Step 6

Step 6
Prepare the fillings for the cake. Place the canned fish in a bowl; you don’t need to drain the liquid; it will make the cake juicier. Mash the fish pieces with a fork.

Step 7

Step 7
Peel the boiled eggs and grate them on a coarse grater. Transfer to a separate container. Add 1-1.5 tablespoons of mayonnaise, add a little salt and mix well.

Step 8

Step 8
Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. Transfer to a container, add garlic passed through a press, salt to taste, mayonnaise and mix.

Step 9

Step 9
Now you can start assembling the cake. Place the cooking ring on the dish. Place the first cake layer in it and lightly press it with your hands until it settles.

Step 10

Step 10
Using a pastry brush, brush the crust with mayonnaise (about 1 tablespoon).

Step 11

Step 11
Place half of the fish, using a fork to spread it over the crust.

Step 12

Step 12
Place the second cake layer on top. We also lightly press it with our hands to level the surface. Lay out the carrot layer and also distribute it over the entire surface.

Step 13

Step 13
Place the third cake layer on the carrots and press down. Lubricate with mayonnaise and distribute the eggs with mayonnaise.

Step 14

Step 14
Place the fourth cake layer. Lubricate with mayonnaise and lay out the rest of the canned fish.

Step 15

Step 15
Place the last fifth cake layer on the fish layer. Now cover the cake with cling film. Place a cutting board on top and place some weight (I put a bowl of water). Leave the cake to soak overnight (at least 12 hours).

Step 16

Step 16
In the morning we take out the Napoleon cake with fish from the refrigerator. Use a knife to smooth out all its irregularities and spread cream cheese all over the sides and top.

Step 17

Step 17
And you can start decorating. Place the trimmings in a blender and grind into small flakes.

Step 18

Step 18
Generously sprinkle the cake with crumbs on all sides.

Step 19

Step 19
To decorate the Napoleon cake with fish, you can use sprigs of dill, parsley, green onions, pomegranate seeds, olives, red caviar.
