Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Additional fresh berries for decoration (optional)
How to Make Raspberry Crepe Cake
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- To assemble, start with one crepe on a serving platter. Spread a layer of raspberry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Repeat the layers with remaining crepes, raspberry sauce, and whipped cream, finishing with a crepe on top.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries, additional whipped cream, and mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your skillet is at the right temperature to prevent the crepes from browning too much.
- Resting the batter helps create tender crepes.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor.
- If the crepes are sticking, add a bit more butter to the pan before each new crepe.
Easy Variations
- Swap out raspberries for strawberries or blueberries for a different berry flavor.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.
- Incorporate a layer of cream cheese frosting between the crepes for a richer texture.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
- A cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
- Additional fresh fruit on the side for a refreshing contrast.
