I'm going to have to say France, because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He was also the king of France Emperor of France during the French and Indian War. I'm pretty sure he also sold the USA, the Louisiana Purchase.
True, the cake did originate in France. But not because of Napoleon Bonaparte. The French call the cake Mille-Fueille, which means "thousand leaf." It is also called the vanilla-slice, cream-slice, and custard-slice in the UK.
The cake originated from France in 1651, which was nearly 100 years before Bonaparte was even born. This clearly proves Napoleon had nothing to do with the naming of the cake, or even its origination (which is still unknown, save for where and when. As for who made it originally, no one knows).

∙ 14y agoNapoleon consists of layers of puff pastry filled with either whipped cream and berries topped with powdered sugar or pastry cream between the layers and topped with poured fondant striped with chocolate. There are many variations on napoleons and as many on the toppings. Other topping variations could be apricot glaze although not too often used on this type of pastry or caramelized sugar.
