LEMON DRIZZLE MILLE CRêPE CAKE

Steps:

• Put the flour, eggs, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
• Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
• Set a frying pan or crêpe pan that has a base measurement of 15-16cm over a medium heat and, using kitchen paper, carefully wipe it with a little melted butter. When hot, cook each pancake for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go. You should end up with 12.
• For the filling, whisk together all the ingredients until semi whipped and still spreadable, the more you whisk it the harder it will be to spread on the pancakes. You can adjust the consistency by whisking more as you go along or loosening the mix by adding a little double cream.
• Layer the pancakes with 2-3 tbsp of the filling, spreading it evenly to the edges, alternating between filling and pancake, finishing with a layer of filling. Put in the fridge to set for 1 hr, or leave overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the drizzle to go on top. Boil together the sugar, lemon juice and 100ml water until the sugar has dissolved and you have a syrup, then set aside to cool.
• For a neater finish, trim the edges of the chilled crêpe cake with a sharp knife so you can see the layers, if you like. Drizzle over the lemon syrup and cut into slices to serve.

Steps:

• The day before making and assembling the cake, make the Crepe Batter and the Pastry Crème Filling (see recipes below); refrigerate. Remove the prepared Crepe Batter from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature: Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a nonstick or lightly-oiled crepe pan over medium-low heat. Evenly distribute approximately 3 tablespoons Crepe Batter; swirl to cover the surface of the pan. Cook approximately 1 minute or just until the bottom of the crepe becomes lightly browned. Using your clean fingers, gently and carefully turn the crepe over and continue cooking for a few minutes longer. Cook on the other side of the crepe for no longer than 5 seconds. Remove the cooked crepe onto a prepared baking sheet (do not stack the crepes on top of each other). Repeat this process until you have 20 perfect crepes. NOTE: You might need to prepare a few practice crepes in the beginning. Remove the prepared Pastry Crème Filling from the refrigerator: Whip the 2 cups of heavy cream with the 1 tablespoon sugar. Gently fold the whipped cream into the prepared chilled and thickened Pastry Crème Filling. Assembly of 20-Layer Crepe Cake: Place one (1) prepared crepe on a large cake plate. With a small spatula or wide blade knife, completely cover the crepe with a thin layer of the pastry cream mixture (approximately 1/4 cup). Cover with another dry crepe and repeat covering with the Pastry Crème until you have reached 20 layers. The 20th crepe will be the last or top layer. Refrigerate the prepared cake for a minimum of 2 hours. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered (confectioners' sugar). When ready to serve, slice into individual servings. Garnish the plate with fresh berries.

MILLE CRÊPE

Steps:

• Day before: Make the crêpe batter and pastry cream. Batter: In a small pan, brown butter and set aside. In another small pan, heat milk until steaming and cool for 10 min. In a mixer on medium-low speed, beat together eggs, flour, sugar and salt. Slowly add milk and browned butter. Pour into a container, cover and refrigerate overnight. Pastry cream: Bring milk, vanilla bean and scrapings to a boil, then set aside for 10 min. Remove bean. Fill a large bowl with ice and set aside a small bowl that can hold the finished pastry cream and be placed in the ice bath. In a medium heavy-bottomed pan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch. Gradually whisk in milk, then place over high heat and bring to a boil, whisking vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes. Press through a fine meshed sieve into the small bowl. Set the bowl in the ice bath and stir until it reaches 140° F on a thermometer then stir in the butter, cool, cover and refrigerate. The next day: Bring the batter to room temperature. Place a seasoned 9-inch crêpe pan over medium heat. Swab the pan with oil, then add about 3 tablespoons batter and swirl to cover the surface. Cook until bottom just begins to brown (1 minute) then carefully lift an edge and flip the crêpe with your fingers and cook for 5 more seconds. Flip crêpe onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter. Pass the pastry cream through a sieve once more. (see intro) Whip the heavy cream with the tablespoon sugar and the Kirsch. It won't hold peaks. Fold it into the pastry cream. Lay 1 crêpe on a cake plate. Using an icing spatula, completely cover with a thin layer of pastry cream (about ¼ cup). Cover with a crêpe and repeat to make a stack of 20. Chill for at least 2 hours. Set out for 30 minutes before serving.

HOW TO MAKE VANILLA DREAM MILLE CRêPE CAKE

Steps:

• To Prepare the Crêpes:.
• In a blender, add milk, water, flour, melted butter, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, lemon zest, and orange liqueur, then blend for 10 seconds. Then, pour the batter into a large bowl and place in the refrigerator to let it rest for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crêpes will be less likely to tear during cooking.
• Heat a 10-inch crêpe pan, or a non-stick pan on medium low heat. Add butter to coat and wipe off excess with paper towel. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan. Lift the pan and swirl to spread batter evenly. Or, use a crepe spreader, I personally love this tool. Cook for 2 minutes and flip the crêpe once. Cook the other side for another 1 minute. Remove from heat to a serving plate to cool. Cook the remaining batter until all done, about 24 crepes.
• To Prepare the Vanilla Mascarpone Cream Fillings:.
• In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or with the electric hand-held mixer), beat the cream and powdered sugar until frothy. Then, add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla bean paste until stiff peak forms.
• To Assemble the Cake:.
• Place 1 crepe in the center of a 10-inch cake board. With an offset spatula, evenly spread 1/4 cup of vanilla cream filling on the crepe, almost to the edges. Top with another piece of crepe. Continue to build the crepe cake until you use up all the crêpes. There should be 1/2 cup of vanilla cream filling left. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a closed star tip. Gently and loosely wrap the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• To Prepare the Raspberry Sauce:.
• In a small sauce pan, heat all the ingredient over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low heat, stir occasionally, and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pass the raspberry sauce through a strainer to remove the seeds. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• To Garnish the Cake:.
• Pipe the remaining vanilla cream on top. Add fresh raspberries, a few springs of mints, and edible flowers (optional). Serve plain or drizzle with raspberry sauce. Enjoy!
