Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups (300ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing gently.
  2. Combine wet and dry: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Once smooth, stir in the melted butter. The batter should be thin and pourable—if too thick, add a splash more milk. Let it rest 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Cook the crepes: Heat your non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil using a paper towel. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to cover the surface evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Repeat until all batter is used (about 12-15 crepes).
  4. Whip the cream: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for 10 minutes before whipping. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl, add vanilla and powdered sugar, then beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Stop when the cream holds its shape but is still smooth.
  5. Assemble the cake: On a serving plate, place one crepe and spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream (about 2 tablespoons). Continue layering crepes and whipped cream, gently pressing down as you go to keep the cake stable. Top the final crepe with a generous layer of cream.
  6. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the crepe cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. Use a sharp serrated knife, wiping between cuts if needed.

Notes

Let the batter rest 20-30 minutes for tender crepes. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Stack crepes while slightly warm to help layers meld. Use a serrated knife for clean slices. Cake can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen.
