| 2 cups 250 g | All-purpose flour |
| 2.5 cups 600 ml | Whole milk |
| 4 4 pcs | Large eggs |
| 4 tbsp 56 g | Unsalted butter, melted |
| 3 tbsp 40 g | Granulated sugar |
| 1 tsp 5 ml | Vanilla extract |
| 3 cups 720 ml | Heavy whipping cream |

2 Method
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.
