Ingredients
½ cup warm water
1 cup 2% milk
4 large eggs
¼ cup melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
1½ cups heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Nutella (to spread between layers)
1 large carton of strawberries, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine water, milk, eggs, melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt. Mix using a stand mixer or blender until smooth. Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve to remove lumps.
- Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick flat pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly with butter. Pour half a ladle of batter into the pan and swirl to create a thin layer. Cook each crepe for about 30 seconds per side. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Slice strawberries thinly and set aside.
- To assemble, alternate layers of crepes with whipped cream and strawberries, then Nutella and strawberries. Continue until all crepes are used.
- Finish the top layer with whipped cream and decorate with sliced strawberries as desired.
- Chill the crepe cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- First few crepes may not turn out perfect—this is normal.
- Use a non-stick crepe pan for best results.
- Letting the batter rest improves crepe texture.
- Customize with different fillings like lemon curd or ganache.
- Chilling before serving helps the cake hold together when sliced.
