When Tracy (my best buddy ) was looking at me decorating the plate and all , she can't wait to taste this piece of lovely crêpe cake. The smell of Salted Caramel Frosting really makes her drool ... yummy ... Then I top it with chocolate ganache and pure cream ........WOW , this is a piece of lovely cake . I couldn't wait to taste it too. So we decided to eat " our portion " of the cake then continue with the photography session of this new creation of mine .
Ingredients
250g Plain Flour
1tbs Castor Sugar
3eggs , plus 3 egg yolks
600ml Milk
40g Unsalted Butter ( melted )
Pure Cream to serve
Chocolate Filling ( with a twist )
250g Good Quality Dark Chocolate ( roughly chopped )
50g Unsalted Butter ( chopped )
150ml Milk
100ml Thickened Cream
100ml Water
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract ( Original recipe calls for 100ml strong black coffee/ espresso )
1/4 cup Castor Sugar ( I use slightly lesser than 1/4 cup )
Frosting
Salted Caramel Frosting ( get the recipe here )
Method
For the Crêpe
- Mix flour, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, milk and unsalted butter into a blender or food processor until smooth . Then pour into a jug and let stand for 30 min. Just before cooking the crêpe , stir in 40g melted butter through the batter
- Heat a 18cm non-stick pan or crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Brush the pan with extra melted butter . Add enough batter to coat the base of the pan , swirl to cover , tip out excess batter
- Cook the crêpe for 45 sec then flip over to cook for another 30 seconds on the other side . Repeat with remaining batter to get 20 crêpe , stacking with baking paper in between. ( Crêpe can be made 2 days ahead , wrap in foil refrigerated )
For the Filling
- Melt the chopped chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water making sure that the bowl does not touch the boiling water
- Stir in remaining ingredients for chocolate filling and whisk over a pan of simmering water until smooth and sugar dissolve
- Set aside for 20-30 minutes to cool until mixture thicken
To assemble
- Lightly grease a 18cm springform pan. Place a crêpe in the springform pan and spread with a thin layer of filling ( do not be greedy to fill with too much filling as it will cause the cake to slip when eating )
- Continue layering with the rest of the crêpe , ending with a crêpe on top
- Cover the cake with an aluminium foil and chill for 1 hour
- Pre-heat oven to 180C .Place cake on a baking tray and heat gently for 10 minutes
- Remove from oven and leave to cool completely before frosting
- Remember to drizzle chocolate filling and pure cream when serving . Enjoy your cake !!!
