Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
Sweeteners and Flavorings:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- ½ cup lemon curd
- ½ cup blackberry jam
Additional Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- Pinch of kosher salt
- ½ cup fresh blackberries, halved
- 1 lemon, sliced into wheels
Instructions
- Craft the delicate crepe batter by blending milk, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and eggs in a blender until silky smooth. Allow the mixture to rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight, enabling the flour to fully absorb the liquid and resulting in tender crepes.
- Warm a 10-inch (25-centimeter) nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly brush the surface with melted butter. Pour approximately 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of batter into the center, immediately rotating the pan to create a thin, even layer. Cook for 60 to 90 seconds until the bottom develops a golden hue.
- Gently flip the crepe using a thin spatula and cook the reverse side for an additional 15 to 20 seconds. Transfer the delicate crepe to a waiting plate. Repeat the process, reapplying butter to the skillet as needed, until all batter is transformed into elegant crepes.
- Prepare the luscious whipped cream by combining heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste in a large mixing bowl. Whip the mixture until it forms medium-soft peaks with a light, airy texture.
- Construct the multilayered cake by positioning the first crepe on a decorative cake stand. Spread 3 tablespoons of whipped cream across the surface, maintaining a small border around the edges.
- Carefully dollop 1 tablespoon of tangy lemon curd over the cream, gently spreading it to create a delicate pattern. Add the next crepe, alternating between smooth lemon curd and vibrant blackberry jam with each layer.
- Complete the cake with a final crepe on top. Artfully mound the remaining whipped cream in the center, creating an elegant peak.
- Refrigerate the assembled creation for a minimum of 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the structure to set. Just before serving, garnish with halved blackberries and delicate lemon wheel slices for a stunning presentation.
Notes
- Whipping cream becomes magically smooth when tools are frosty cold from the refrigerator, ensuring perfect peaks every single time.
- Medium-low temperatures create gentle golden crepes that roll effortlessly without burning or turning crispy.
- Resting batter allows flour proteins to relax, resulting in silky-smooth texture that transforms ordinary pancakes into delicate creations.
- Consistent cream and filling layers guarantee each slice delivers balanced flavors and professional-looking presentation.
- Refrigeration acts like culinary glue, helping your crepe cake stabilize and set into a stunning masterpiece ready for delightful serving.
