How to make Strawberry Crepe cake at home. This is such a great dessert recipe for any special occasion. This strawberry crepe cake is something that can be made with your usual kitchen staples and some strawberries of course. Mille crêpe is a French cake made of many crêpe layers. The word mille means “a thousand”, implying the many layers of crêpe. Pancakes turn out really thin and the strawberry buttercream compliments the whole cake! The strawberries add a tartness that balances out all the cream and sugar. You can also replace strawberries with raspberries. Layers of crepes and filling stacked high to form a cake which can be sliced and served all at once. This recipe has been a family favorite for many years! These crepes are delicious and very rich!
Hi guys, welcome to my channel Alice's Yummy Food.
Today I'm going to show you how to make a strawberry crepe cake.
Now it is absolutely amazing, you can have it for breakfast,
for lunch, for dinner or you can serve it as a dessert.
I love to eat it for brunch, so every Sunday sometimes I make this cake
and everybody loves it in my family.
So I'll show you how to do it today.
So first of all we're going to start by making our pancakes.
So place 4 eggs into a large bowl, some sugar.
We're going to give that a quick whisk.
All the ingredients will be listed below in the description box.
Then we're going to add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
We've got here melted butter.
We're going to whisk that again
to make sure it's all incorporated.
And now we're going to add our flour.
The ingredients
are now nicely incorporated.
The batter should be nice and smooth
and runny so the pancakes are nice and thin.
Next thing we're going to do is make our strawberry buttercream.
Now I like to make my own version,
you can invent your own versions as you like but this
one works just so well,
it's nice and sweet and it just works so good with pancakes.
So first of all I'm going to use fresh strawberries,
you can use frozen as well or you can replace
it with using raspberries if you prefer raspberries.
So we're going to blend them first.
For our strawberry buttercream we're going
to be using another large bowl, we're going
We're going to be placing one pack of soft cheese.
I've got some strawberry puree.
I like it sweet, if you like
it less sweet, add a bit less,
and then I also like to put
two teaspoons of strawberry jam.
I'm going to give it all a mix,
the mixture should be nice and thick, and now we're going
to thicken it with some double cream,
so we'll leave that aside, and take a new bowl, we're
going to add a whole pack
of double cream, and just whip
it until nice and fluffy.
Now we're just going to combine this with this.
It smells so good
in the kitchen.
Now we're just going to incorporate.
Don't mix too much because we don't want
to lose the air in the mixture.
Once it's all mixed together, we're going
to put this in the fridge to refrigerate
for at least half an hour while we fry our pancakes.
Okay, now we're going to fry our crepes.
So in a large pan, depending on what sort of type
of plate you're going to be serving your cake,
I'm using a large one.
So we've got our mixture here.
Place a little bit of butter.
I need to make sure it's spread around so the pancakes don't burn.
You can also use oil.
Take about one scoop of mixture.
I like to do it this way.
Tip it down, tip it down,
cross, and around.
Fry.
Okay, so you can flip your pancake just
to make sure you get nice golden colour.
They should be very nice and thin.
If you do like pancakes like me,
I actually have a couple of videos on Russian pancakes,
how to make them with cottage cheese, which is a vegetarian option,
or you can make them with delicious meat filling and sour cream.
So check out those links above here.
And yeah, let's keep cooking.
Okay, my pancakes are done, so now we're just going to assemble.
You can see that they're really thin and nice, so put the first layer.
And my buttercream will be in the fridge so it's all nice and set.
And we just put buttercream in the middle, spread it around.
Here I put
my last
pancake on.
Now I'm going to decorate with some strawberries.
You can decorate as much and as little as you like.
Put a lot of strawberries on here.
Now I'm just going to sprinkle some icing sugar.
Beautiful strawberry cake is done. As you can see, loads of layers.
I like to put it in the fridge to set but it's good to eat now.
And then I'll cut into it and show you in some pictures on my Facebook.
So here you go guys, enjoy.
Have a good Sunday and I'll see you next week. Bye!
