Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Food coloring (red, blue, yellow, and green)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Colorful Layered Crepe Cake

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
2. Divide the batter into four equal portions. Add a few drops of different food coloring to each portion to create vibrant colors.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of one colored batter into the skillet, swirling it to form a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining colors, stacking the crepes as you go.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
5. To assemble the cake, place one crepe on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over it, then top with another crepe. Repeat this process until all crepes are layered with whipped cream in between.
6. Drizzle the top of the cake with caramel sauce and, if desired, garnish with additional whipped cream.
7. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving to allow the layers to set.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to avoid sticking.
• Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the crepe when flipping to check for doneness.
• Allow the crepes to cool completely before stacking to prevent the whipped cream from melting.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the whipped cream with a light cream cheese frosting for a richer flavor.
• Experiment with different flavors by adding extracts like almond or coconut to the batter.
• For a fruity twist, layer in some fresh berries or fruit compote between the crepes.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a tart contrast to the sweetness.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
• A cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness.
• Whipped cream on the side for those who want extra.
