Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 1/2 cup crushed nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
• Butter or oil for the griddle

How to Make Stacked Pancake Cake with Caramel Drizzle

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the milk and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Once all pancakes are cooked, stack them in groups of three on a serving plate, creating layers.
7. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top and let it cascade down the sides of the pancake stack.
8. Finish by sprinkling crushed nuts on top for added crunch.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your griddle is well-heated before cooking the pancakes to achieve that perfect golden color.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy, as this will keep the pancakes fluffy.
• For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Chip Pancake Cake: Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter before cooking for a sweet twist.
• Fruit Topping: Layer fresh berries or banana slices between the pancake layers for added freshness.
• Nutty Banana Pancake Cake: Mash 1 ripe banana into the batter for a fruity flavor and top with sliced bananas.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries or fruit compote for a refreshing contrast.
• Whipped cream to add an extra layer of indulgence.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert twist.
