Recently I had a birthday and I wanted to know more about cakes to make for my birthday. I read two recipe books and found the perfect one for me. Milfey is the most delicate classic French dessert. It suited me perfectly in all my parameters :) I think this recipe is so versatile that it will suit everyone's taste.

Incredibly tasty folding cream balances perfectly with the acidity of berries. Most often, as indicated in the classic recipe, Milfey is prepared with raspberries.

The very name of the cake from French translates as "a thousand sheets", as it consists of many layers of puff pastry. And this whole set of details, crispy cakes, very sweet cream and sourness of berries create an incredible extravaganza of feelings.

To cook Milfey with raspberries you will need:

For cake layers:

flour - 1-2 tablespoons (on dust)

puff pastry - 500 g

sugar - 1 tbsp. (optional)

5.Put cake layers. Using a pastry bag, apply cream (you can just use a spoon). Then spread pieces of fruit or berries on the cream and press them into the cream. On the berries, put a small amount of cream (1-2 tsp) for better bonding. Lay the two sheets on top of each other with the berries up. Cover with a non-greased sheet, press down a little. Before serving, keep it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, no more. Top of the cake can be decorated with the remaining cream and berries or simply sprinkled with powdered sugar.
