If you’re looking for a dessert that’s both eye-catching and delicious, a Strawberry Jam Crepe Cake is the answer. Layers of thin, tender crepes with sweet, fruity strawberry jam in between create a dessert that feels special enough for celebrations, yet simple enough to make at home.
Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/4 cups milk
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup strawberry jam
- Optional: whipped cream or powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
1. Make the crepe batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15–20 minutes for tender crepes.
2. Cook the crepes
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of batter, swirling to coat the pan evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat until all the batter is used, stacking the crepes with parchment paper in between.
3. Assemble the cake
Place one crepe on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over it, then top with another crepe. Continue layering crepes and jam until you’ve used them all. Finish with a crepe on top.
4. Garnish and chill
Optionally, spread whipped cream over the top and sides, dust with powdered sugar, or add fresh strawberries. Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing to let the layers set.
