Ingredients

Crepe Batter

Instructions

Prepare The Batter

  • Heat the milk until just warm. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add about 1/3 of the milk. Whisk to combine. Add the flour in 1/3-1/2 at a time, whisking to fully incorporate.
    2 eggs, 2 T granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 t baking powder, 400 ml milk
  • When batter is mostly smooth, add the rest of the milk, and mix. Add the melted butter and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
    2 T butter, 1/2 t vanilla extract
  • Strain the batter through a mesh sieve into another bowl, to remove lumps. Allow to set in fridge for about half an hour.

Prepare The Filling

  • Slice the strawberries as thin and evenly as you can, or use a mandolin to slice them. You may want to leave a few strawberries, for garnish, as you may not need the entire pound for the layers (depending on how many layers you make). 
    1 lb strawberries
  • Whip the cream with the sugar until medium stiff peaks form.
    1 cup whipping cream, 2 T granulated sugar

cooking the crepes

  • Heat a nonstick skillet to medium heat. Pour about 3T of batter and swirl around until you have a thin circle.
  • Wait a minute or two until you are able to flip. When cooked through, remove from pan and place on a plate.
  • Have a couple of plates out, so you don't stack the hot crepes right on top of each other. Once they are cooled a bit, you can layer them. Repeat with remaining batter.

assemble the cake

  • To assemble: On the first crepe, spread a thin layer of whipped cream and a layer of strawberries. Place another crepe on top and repeat until you get to the final layer.
  • Before setting the final crepe on top, cover the last strawberries with another thin layer of whipped cream. This is to keep the strawberries from showing through the top layer.
  • Garnish cake with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
