Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • ¼ cup sugar (for fruit sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

How to Make Layered Sweet Crepe Cake

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Stir in the melted butter and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate as you go.
  3. For the fruit sauce, combine the mixed berries, ¼ cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and release their juices. If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry and stir it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. To assemble the crepe cake, place one crepe on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of the fruit sauce over the crepe, then top with another crepe. Repeat the process until all crepes are stacked, finishing with a crepe on top.
  5. Drizzle the remaining fruit sauce over the top of the cake and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your skillet is at the right temperature; too hot will burn the crepes, and too cool will make them tough.
  • Allow the batter to rest for a smoother texture.
  • Use a ladle or measuring cup to help pour consistent amounts of batter for evenly sized crepes.
  • Let the fruit sauce cool slightly before drizzling it over the cake to prevent it from melting the top crepe.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the mixed berries for your favorite fruits, like peaches or mangoes.
  • Add a layer of whipped cream or pastry cream between the crepes for added richness.
  • Experiment with flavored crepes by adding cocoa powder for chocolate crepes or matcha for a green tea twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature and creaminess.
  • A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Coffee or tea to balance the sweetness of the cake.
  • Chocolate sauce drizzled on the side for a decadent touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crepes may soften, but the flavors will continue to meld together. To enjoy, slice and serve cold, or warm slightly in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
