4 tbsp 56 g Unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp 40 g Granulated sugar

Step 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Gradually whisk in the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until the batter is smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2. Lightly grease an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter, swirling to cover the bottom. Cook for 1 minute until the edges are golden, then flip and cook for 30 seconds. Repeat until all batter is used, letting crepes cool completely.

Step 3. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 4. Place one crepe on a serving plate. Spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream. Every 4-5 layers, add a layer of thinly sliced fruit along with the cream.

Step 5. Repeat the stacking process until all crepes are used, finishing with a plain crepe on top or a decorative fruit arrangement.

Step 6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set and become easy to slice.

💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    Ensure your fruit slices are as thin as possible to keep the cake stable.

  • ·

    Let the crepe batter rest to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in more tender crepes.

  • ·

    Use a spatula to even out the cream layers to prevent the cake from leaning.

  • ·

    Pat the fruit slices dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture from making the cream runny.

? FAQ

Can I make this cake in advance?
Yes, it is actually better when made a day in advance as the layers soften and fuse together.
How long does it stay fresh?
It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, though the fruit may start to release juices after 24 hours.
Can I use frozen fruit?
It is not recommended as frozen fruit releases too much water upon thawing, which will ruin the cream layers.
What is the best way to slice it?
Use a very sharp serrated knife and wipe it clean between every slice for the neatest presentation.
