Ingredients

Scale

Crepes (15 Layers)

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Crepe Cake Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (16 Tbsp)
  • 12 oz sweetened condensed milk (from a 14 oz can)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. How to Make the Crepes: Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the crepe ingredients in the following order: 1/2 cup warm water, 1 cup milk, 4 eggs, 4 Tbsp melted butter, 1 cup flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, and 1/8 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  2. Cook Crepes: Heat a medium (9-inch) non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small dot of butter and swirl to coat the pan. Pour about 3 Tbsp of batter into the pan, tilting to evenly spread the batter. Cook for 30 seconds or until golden, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked crepe to a clean surface to cool. Repeat for all crepes.
  3. How to Make the Frosting: Whip Butter and Condensed Milk: In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the butter and condensed milk on high speed for 7 minutes until whipped and pale. Add Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing on medium-high speed. Beat for 3 minutes or until the mixture is smooth. Tiny lumps are fine as they will blend into the cake. Incorporate Vanilla: Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and whisk until combined and creamy.
  4. Assembling the Crepe Cake: Layer the Cake: Place one crepe on a serving platter. Spread about 3 Tbsp of frosting (or 1 ice cream scoop) evenly over the crepe. Repeat with all crepes, stacking as you go. Chill the Cake: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the frosting is firm and the cake holds its shape. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
