Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Crepe Layer Cake.
Step 1
Begin by blending together eggs, flour, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender.
Step 2
Start on low speed, gradually ramping up to high until the mixture is silky smooth.
Step 3
Once blended, let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance its texture.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine strawberry jam with a splash of water from the jar.
Step 5
Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Allow it to simmer for about a minute, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 7
Next, preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with butter.
Step 8
Pour a quarter cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, tilting it to ensure an even spread.
Step 9
Cook until the edges turn golden and bubbles appear on the surface, roughly 1.
Step 10
5 minutes per side.
Step 11
Once cooked, transfer the crepe to a baking sheet.
Step 12
Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding butter to the skillet as needed.
Step 13
Allow the crepes to cool completely, which should take around 15 minutes, before stacking them.
Step 14
In a mixing bowl, blend mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a luscious filling.
Step 15
To assemble your delightful crepe cake, place one crepe on a large plate and spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the creamy mixture over it, almost reaching the edges.
Step 16
Swirl in some of the cooled strawberry jam for a burst of flavor.
Step 17
Carefully layer another crepe on top and repeat the process until all crepes are stacked, finishing with a plain crepe on top.
Step 18
Gently press down on the final crepe to secure the layers.
Step 19
Finally, refrigerate the assembled crepe cake until it is thoroughly chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully and making it easier to slice when serving.
Step 20
Enjoy this delightful creation that’s sure to impress!.
