I don't know how your back-to-school went, but I admit I'm struggling to get back into the rhythm (I can't even imagine how people with children manage to handle everything!). To help me get through it, I had decided to organize a "90s revival" evening. In reality, the preparations contributed to making back-to-school a bit more difficult, but it was cool to dig out class photos and childhood cartoons. For dessert, I had gone all in on the "school" theme since I served a homemade napolitain.
Regarding the preparation, the biggest challenge will be finding practical molds. Since the cake is made up of 2 layers of vanilla and 1 layer of chocolate, the ideal is to have 2 molds, one of which is twice as long as the other. Not particularly easy... For my part, I made the recipe twice, and I used an extendable pastry frame (in 20×30), that seemed the most practical to me. But since my baking sheet isn't extendable, I ended up baking my 3 napolitain layers in 3 batches. I'll admit it's a bit tedious, but you're not 10 years old every day!
For the recipe, I picked it from Perle en sucre, but since I was in a rush when the guests arrived, I didn't have time to properly do the icing or add sprinkles (shame on me). In the end it was super good anyway and with a screening of our childhood cartoons, we felt like we were having an after-school snack!
Mission accomplished then, for this recipe!
