Chilean Thousand Layers Cake “Mil Hojas”

June 29, 2018 by Pilar Hernandez

Versión en español

Chilean Mil Hojas, Thousand Layers CakeThousand Layers Cake is the most traditional of the Chilean cakes. This particular recipe is from my Great Aunt who would always bake this cake for my birthday present. So, this is yet another of my recipes that feels like home! My Aunt usually makes this cake at least a day in advance, and it will still hold its flavor for 3-4 days.

The most traditional filling is Dulce de Leche and walnuts. But, if you like variety, pastry cream and whipped cream are also used. If you’re looking for something a little less sweet, jams like plum or rhubarb are also excellent.

Pin Recipe

The traditional cake of Chile. Layers of thin, crunchy dough and dulce de leche and jam.

  • Total Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
  • Yield: 20

Ingredients

Units

For the dough,

  • 3 cups sifted flour
  • 250 grams/ 8 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon rum or pisco
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the filling,

  • 3 cups of dulce de leche or caramel (available in Latin supermarkets, I like La Lechera brand sold in cans, usually right next to the condensed milk)
  • 2 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add butter in chunks, egg yolks, milk, and liquor, work to form a dough of medium consistency.Ingredients for mil hojas
  2. Do not work with your hands. Use a fork or 2 knives, or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Do not use your hands because the body heat will melt the butter, and bits of butter remaining in the dough give its crispness. Wrap in plastic wrap and let stand in the fridge overnight for at least 6 hours.

  3. Preheat oven to 350F or 180C.
  4. Divide the dough into 14 equal portions. Roll each piece on a floured baking sheet or parchment paper or Silpat until very thin. Using a paring knife, cut circles of 8 – 9″ of diameter. I usually use a plate as a guide. Pierce the circle of dough with a fork across almost the entire surface.

  5. Bake each circle over an un-greased baking or cookie sheet for 5-7 minutes until golden. Let cool.

  6. Assemble the cake filling in between each layer with dulce de leche (3-4 tablespoons). Every three layers, add ground walnuts also, saving 1 cup for decoration.Filling the cake
  7. Cover the whole cake with a thin layer of dulce de leche and sprinkle with a mixture of walnuts, powdered sugar, and crumbs.

  8. Let it rest well, covered in the fridge. Serve at room temperature.

    Hi! For the decorations all around the cake – is that just the walnuts and powdered sugar or did you cover it with a crumbled layer. It looked different than the walnuts placed in the filling layers so I wanted to check.

    I’ve made this before and it’s amazing! I love how yours is decorated though and I was hoping to mimic that.

    Thank you!

      You can omit them, the cake will be almost the same. If you worry about being too sweet because of the dulce de leche, add some layers of raspberry or plum jam.

    Hi Pilar. You mentioned in an earlier post that it’s okay to freeze the entire cake. What would I wrap it with? Does the texture stay the same after it’s been thawed? Thank you!

      Yes, the texture stays the same. You need to wrap it in two layers of plastic film, and then inside a plastic bag. Don’t keep it frozen for more than 2 months.

      I was also an exchange student in Chile in the 1980s (stayed in Santiago and Punta Arenas and visited Vina del Mar)and I had a different version of this cake while in Punta Arenas. All I remember is that it had a choclate layer on the bottom, mil hojas and manjar in the next layers, then layers that had strawberries or raspberries and maybe cream and covered with icing. I wish I had that recipe. Has anyone heard of this version?

      It’s similar to puff pastry, but not at all the same. Is a dough with less butter, more eggs. Elastic and crunchy after baked.
      Puff pastry is not a replacement.

      En invierno aunque el manjar dulce de leche este a temperatura ambiente puede estar muy frío para esparcir. Lo puedes pasar a un bol y calentar suavemente en el microonda, de a poco y revolviendo o a baño María.

    Hi Pilar;
    Just discovered your site and look forward to exploring more Chilean cuisine. Last year I had the pleasure of spending 2 months in Chile and partook of a cake (often) that the locals called “Pancakey” (spelling). It was a 11 to 13 layer cake that I would love to make. It was different from the thousand layer cake. I’m hoping you have a recipe and the correct spelling for this fabulous cake that I miss.
    Thank you for your help. Here’s to eating more cake.

    Hello Pilar, Greetings from Sydney, Australia. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipe. I made your Torda de Mil Hojas today. It tasted wonderful but I am not sure if the result is what it was supposed to be. I followed your recipe to the letter and used a stand mixer. The resulting dough was very sticky. It felt like it probably needed another cup of flour, it turned out that sticky. I added 3 tablespoons of flour but it was still a little sticky. There was a lot of stuck on mixture still stuck to the sides of the bowl. Once I had refrigerated the dough for four hours it was a little easier to work it but I still needed a lot of flour on the counter top to stop the dough from sticking to the surface. I divided the dough into the 14 equal segments but to get it to the 20cm suggested size meant the layers were so includible thin. Once I lifted the layer of dough to place onto the backing sheet they would not only shrink considerably but also loose the shape. When putting cake together, how much manjar should I be spreading on each later? and should the manjar be a little runny. The one I used was peanut butter type consistency and the cake looked lovely but then was a little hard to cut. In the pictures your cake looks quite compressed and my cake didn’t feel like that. I am not sure what I am doing wrong? How do I get the layers to hold their shape and not shrink?

      Hi Cynthia,

      The recipe is right, the dough is sticky and a pain to work with it, but if you add more flour the cake gets dry and hard.
      You can use flour to roll it, I do it straight on the baking sheet, parchment paper, or Silpat, so I don’t lift it. My mom does it the old-fashioned way, but I’m not so talented.
      In between layers, I use 3 – 4 tablespoons of manjar, I spread it with care and patience, I don’t dilute it or thin it.
      I don’t compress my cakes, but my mom does, it’s a personal choice I guess.
      Thanks for the comment, I added these suggestions to the recipe.

    I’ve been making this cake since my Mother in law from Guatemala taught me how but I make mine with a Italian meringue frosting which in Guatemala is called Turon. It’s delish and super decadant.

      No, nunca he probado, pero te recomiendo esta harina que amigas han usado en otras recetas sin problemas. La venden en supermercados, la marca es King Arthur FLour https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-measure-for-measure-flour
      Suerte.
