Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 cup crushed nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
How to Make Stacked Pancake Cake with Caramel Drizzle
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes on a plate as you go.
- Once all pancakes are cooked, start layering them on a serving plate, drizzling caramel sauce between each layer.
- Top the final pancake with more caramel sauce and sprinkle the crushed nuts on top for a delightful crunch.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook a few pancakes at a time for even results.
- Keep your pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) as you finish cooking the rest.
Easy Variations
- For a fruity twist, add fresh berries or sliced bananas between the layers.
- Swap out the caramel for chocolate sauce for a different flavor profile.
- Incorporate spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract into the batter for added warmth.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
- Coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the cake.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a microwave or toaster oven until warmed through. For best results, drizzle with fresh caramel before serving again.
