CHEF JOHN'S STRAWBERRY CREPE CAKE



Chef John's Strawberry Crepe Cake image

Using this simple 'crepe cake' technique, you can turn any of your favorite cake fillings into visually stunning, multi-layered masterpieces. By the way, I say this is simple, not fast, as it does take some time to make and stack all those crepes, but once you get rolling, it goes pretty quickly. Use the ingredient amounts only as a guide, as crepe sizes and filling amounts will vary. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 large eggs
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 ½ tablespoons vegetable oil
3 ¼ cups whole milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons butter, or as needed
1 (10 ounce) jar strawberry jam
2 tablespoons water
¾ cup mascarpone cheese
1 ½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Pour eggs, flour, sugar, salt, oil, milk, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and finishing on high, until combined. Refrigerate batter for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop strawberry jam into a saucepan. Rinse out jar with water and pour into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from heat, and stir. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Brush some butter over a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/4 cup batter; tilt pan to coat evenly. Cook until crepes bubble and brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan between crepes. Let cool completely before stacking, at least 15 minutes.
  • Combine mascarpone cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk together until stiff peaks form.
  • Lay a crepe onto a large plate. Spoon on 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cream mixture, spreading it almost to the edge. Swirl in some strawberry jam. Transfer finished crepe onto a flat serving plate. Repeat with remaining crepes, cream, and jam. Center each crepe over the previous one in a stack. Gently press on a final plain crepe to finish.
  • Refrigerate until completely chilled before cutting and serving.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large eggs
3 ½ cups milk
⅓ cup oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 ripe bananas, very ripe
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon unsalted butter
10 strawberries, stemmed, plus more, sliced for garnish
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, add the eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, bananas, sugar, salt, and flour. Blend until the batter is smooth without clumps.
  • In a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and swirl so it coats the entire pan. Then pour in ¼ cup of crepe batter and tilt the pan to cover the entire bottom. Cook until the bottom surface of the crepe begins to brown and the edges are lacey, for about 3 minutes, and then flip. Repeat with the remaining crepe batter.
  • In a food processor or blender, add the strawberries and puree until smooth. Pour the strawberry puree through a sieve into a medium bowl to remove any seeds and clumps. Chill for 15 minutes until the puree is cold.
  • In a large bowl, using a whisk or hand mixer, beat the cream until thickened. Add the powdered sugar, and beat until soft peaks form. Add half of the strawberry puree, and blend with the hand mixer. Add the rest of the strawberry puree and gently fold it into the whipped cream with a spatula.
  • Dollop a bit of strawberry cream on a plate, then place the first crepe and frost with about ¼ cup of filling. Stack the remaining crepes on top of each other, with strawberry whipped cream between each layer. Spread the rest of the strawberry whipped cream on top of the last crepe.
  • Arrange slices of strawberry on top for garnish.
  • Slice and serve.

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups whole milk
4 eggs
⅓ cup white sugar
3 cups whole milk
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup strawberry jam
1 cup strawberries

Steps:

  • Pulse milk, eggs, and sugar in a blender until combined. Add flour, salt, and extracts. Blend until smooth, about 3 minutes. Transfer batter to an airtight container and let chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Gently whisk chilled batter to recombine.
  • Place a small 9-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Coat pan with a portion of the melted butter; let melt and sizzle. Remove from heat and pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into one side of the pan. Swirl to evenly coat pan and return to heat. Cook until edges are golden brown and center is pale gold, 2 to 3 minutes. Lift one side of the crepe with a flexible spatula and flip using your fingertips. Continue to cook until pale golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Slide crepe out of the pan and let cool on a wire rack. Continue until you have 20 crepes. Transfer cooled crepes to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Whisk cream cheese until light and fluffy in the bowl of a stand mixer, about 4 minutes. Add cream and confectioners' sugar and whisk on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Stir in strawberry jam.
  • Place 1 crepe on the center of a cake board or platter and spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture on top. Top with another crepe and continue layering until all crepes have been used. Top final layer with the last of the cream and garnish with fresh strawberries. Chill at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Strawberry Rose Crepe Cake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, large eggs, whole milk, cream cheese, sugar, heavy cream, strawberry

Provided by Rie McClenny

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/2 stick, melted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3 cups whole milk
8 oz cream cheese
3 tablespoons sugar
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 cup strawberry, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and eggs.
  • Add ½ cup (120 ml) of milk at a time, stirring vigorously, making sure that each addition is completely incorporated into the batter and that the batter is smooth before adding more milk.
  • Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve. The batter should be very liquidy and have no lumps. Rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until combined. Add the heavy cream and mix until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a 9.5 inch (24-cm) nonstick pan over medium heat, pour ⅓ cup (40 g) of the batter in the center, and swirl the batter around to the edges of the pan.
  • Cook the crepe until bubbles rise to the surface and the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the edges start to crisp slightly, about 1 minute more.
  • Transfer the crepe to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Stack the crepes on top of each other, then cut in half. Stack the halves on top of each other, and cut the stack into two even strips.
  • Place two crepe strips on a flat surface and spread the cream cheese mixture on both. Arrange sliced strawberries on one of the strips.
  • Roll up the first strip with the strawberries, then roll the second strip around it. Repeat with the rest of the strips of crepes, alternating between strips with strawberries and strips without. Once it becomes too large to roll, lay the cake on a serving platter.
  • Spread the remaining crepe strips with cream cheese and gently press them around the outside of the cake. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to set.
  • Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY-LEMON CREPE CAKE



Strawberry-Lemon Crepe Cake image

Each year for my husband's birthday I make him a different lemon cake (a tradition started by his mother). A couple years ago I made a Lemon Crepe Cake and it was really good. This spring I added fresh strawberries and the cake was fabulous! I like to make the crepe batter and lemon curd the night before and assemble the next morning. -Lora Roth, Seneca, South Carolina

EASY STRAWBERRY NUTELLA CREPE CAKE



Easy Strawberry Nutella Crepe Cake image

Obtained online. http://www.somethingswanky.com/strawberry-nutella-crepe-cake/

Provided by Chrystal Cackler @journeyrock92

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR THE CREPES
2 - eggs
2/3 can(s) milk + a little extra for thinning the batter
2 tablespoon(s) melted butter or coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- nonstick cooking spray
FOR THE FILLING
10 ounce(s) cool whip frosting (any flavor)
2 cup(s) sliced strawberries
1 cup(s) nutella

Steps:

  • For the Crepes: Whisk together all of the ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Heat an omelette pan* over medium heat for a minute (you'll use your first crepe as a gauge to tell whether this heat is too hot or too cool for your pan). Lightly spray the pan with the nonstick cooking spray.
  • Use a tablespoon* to scoop the batter into the pan. Lift the pan by the handle, and rotate your wrist so the batter spreads into a thin circle. If your batter doesn't spread easily when you rotate the pan by the second crepe, add a tablespoon or two of milk to thin the batter a little further. Place back on the heat to cook until the top of the crepe looks dry**. Run a small rubber spatula under the edges of the crepe to gently loosen it from the pan. Slide it out on to a plate to cool. Repeat with all remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on top of one another. Let crepes cool completely.
  • Cake Assembly: Start by spreading a little Nutella on the serving plate or cake stand. This will glue the first crepe to the bottom so it doesn't slide around. Spread Nutella on the first crepe and place it Nutella-side up on the serving plate. Add a layer of sliced strawberries and then spread on a layer of Cool Whip Frosting. Repeat with remaining crepes and fillings, until cake it complete. Chill for an hour before serving. At time of serving, top with more Cool Whip Frosting, strawberry slices, and drizzled Nutella for garnish.
