Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling

How to Make Layered Chocolate Crepe Cake

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then gradually whisk in the milk and melted butter.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
  5. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to create the ganache.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  8. Once the crepes are cooled, start layering by placing one crepe on a serving platter. Spread a layer of ganache over it, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the process, stacking crepes and alternating layers until all are used.
  9. Finish with a final layer of ganache on top. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure the crepe batter is well-mixed to avoid lumps.
  • Allow the crepes to cool completely before stacking to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Chill the cake for a couple of hours or overnight to let the flavors meld.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache to enhance the overall flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate flavor.
  • Add a layer of fruit, like raspberries or strawberries, between the crepes for a fresh twist.
  • Experiment with flavored whipped cream by adding a splash of liqueur or flavored extracts.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
  • A scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for extra indulgence.
  • A cup of coffee or espresso to balance the sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover layered chocolate crepe cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cake can also be frozen for up to a month, but for best texture and flavor, enjoy it fresh.
