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 heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chocolate spread (like Nutella)
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

How to Make Layered Cream and Chocolate Pancake Stack

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. While the pancakes are cooking, whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
7. Once the pancakes are ready, stack them on a serving plate, spreading a layer of chocolate spread and a dollop of whipped cream between each pancake.
8. Drizzle the top with warm caramel sauce and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Use a ladle for consistent pancake sizes.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
• For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Swap the chocolate spread for peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist.
• Add sliced bananas or strawberries between the layers for extra freshness.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Drizzle with chocolate syrup instead of caramel for a chocolate lover’s dream.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
• Crisp bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
• A hot cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice.
