Easy Napoleon Cake

Place pieces of pastry 2″ apart onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before frosting.
You should have a total of 8 rectangle pieces. Reserve 6 for frosting the cake and crush the other two pieces for crumbs (garnish.)
TO MAKE SYRUP: Whisk together 3/4 of a can of condensed milk and heavy cream until smooth. (tip: remove 1/4 cup of condensed milk for the frosting and that leaves you with the remainder)

Slice the 6 pieces in half lengthwise and soak each half with 2 tbsp of the syrup.Then pierce each piece with a fork for syrup to soak in better. Set aside.
TO MAKE FROSTING: Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then add 4 tbsp of condensed milk, 4 tbsp cream cheese, 2 tbsp sour cream and 1 pkg of cool whip; beat until creamy and thick.

ASSEMBLING CAKE: Invert a soaked piece onto a serving plate facing downwards (syrup side down) and frost generously with frosting leaving a little border. Continue to stack and frost lightly crushing cake down between frosting ending with 6 layers in total. Clean up sides; then frost the sides and top. Sprinkle with crushed crumbs and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Repeat like wise with remainder pieces. Recipe makes 2 cakes.
