This is the best quick cake to serve with coffee

What's the most famous dessert with puff pastry? Probably napoleon. However, you can use it for many other desserts. Preparing it from scratch is quite a culinary challenge, so it's worth having a supply of ready-made pastry in the fridge. When buying it, it's worth checking to see that it contains a high butter content. This makes baking cookies and croissants and preparing these desserts much easier. Just remember to take the pastry out of the fridge beforehand, ideally at least 15 minutes before baking. This way, it won't crumble.

This delicious dessert consists of just three ingredients. Using store-bought puff pastry and dulce de leche greatly simplifies and speeds up its preparation. It couldn't be easier! The cake will be enjoyed by everyone who likes decidedly sweet desserts. It pairs perfectly with black coffee.
