STRAWBERRY CREPE CAKE

For the upcomming Valentine's Day, I have decided to make a ombre strawberry Crepe cake. It's layered with strawberry jam and whipped cream. Not too sweet, perfect for dessert or breakfast. It's very simple to make and the end result is fantastic! :)

Ingredients :

• 700 ml milk
• 50 g melted butter
• 6 eggs
• 350 g flour (all purpose)
• 100 g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pink or red gel food coloring (optional)
• coconut or vegetable oil

For the filling :

• 500 g strawberry jam
• 500 ml whipping cream

Sieve the flour and sugar into a bowl and mix it together.

In a seperate bowl place the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract and whisk till combined (make sure the butter is not hot).

Start adding the flour and sugar into the milk mixture in parts and whisk to combine.

To get the ombre effect, seperate the batter between four bowls in equal amounts. Add the food coloring to receive four shades, from dark to light.

Place a frying pan over low/medium heat and grease the pan with a tiny bit of oil. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan to get a thin layer (about 2-3 tbsp for one layer). I have recived 23 layers with this recipe. Next let the layers cool down completly.

Whip the cream on high speed till stiff. Layer the cake by spreading first the jam then the cream on top. Repeat for every layer. Refrigerate over night.

This is such a beautiful and delicious dessert, you won't be able to stop eating ;)
