Best Bramble Pancake Cake Recipes

BLUEBERRY PANCAKE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the blueberries and toss them gently in the flour mixture; this will help keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil and butter to the hot skillet. Let the butter melt completely, then pour the oil and butter into the buttermilk mixture and whisk together, fully incorporating the hot fats. Add the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until combined and most lumps are gone. Pour the batter into the hot skillet. Bake until the cake is fluffy and golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes.
• For the white pancake syrup: While the pancake cooks, add the corn syrup, vanilla and cinnamon to a small saucepan. Stir together and cook over low heat until the syrup is warm and pourable.
• Slice the warm pancake in wedges and serve with the white pancake syrup.

PANCAKE "CAKE" WITH SPARKLING STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• For the pancake batter: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F; place a dinner plate in the oven.
• Whisk together the water, milk, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter in a large bowl until completely smooth. Do not overmix.
• Brush the surface of a nonstick pan set over medium heat with some of the remaining melted butter. Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan so the pancake is thin and about 6 inches in diameter. Flip once it looks crispy on the edges and air holes appear in the center. Cook another minute until cooked through. Remove the pancake to the plate in the oven to keep warm. Continue making pancakes until all the batter is gone, brushing the pan with butter as needed. Pile the pancakes one on top of the other in an organized stack as you go. You should have about 10 total.
• For the sparkling strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries and sugar and gently toss to coat. Pour the sparkling wine over the strawberries and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Serve over the pancakes.
