Jamie Oliver’s crepe cake is a layered dessert where stacks of thin crepes are sandwiched with cream, fruits, or spreads. The texture is soft and light, with each bite offering a balance of richness and subtle sweetness. It’s ideal for birthdays, brunches, or special celebrations.
250g plain flour
4 large eggs
600ml milk
2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
300ml double cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh berries or fruit compote (optional)
Grated dark chocolate or chocolate ganache (optional)
In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt together.
Add eggs and whisk, gradually pouring in the milk until smooth.
Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Pour a ladle of batter and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Cook for about 1–2 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side.
Stack cooked crepes on a plate and allow to cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk double cream with icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Place one crepe on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream.
Repeat layering: crepe, cream, crepe, cream… until all crepes are used.
Every 3–4 layers, you can add berries or a thin spread of jam or ganache.
Once assembled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2–3 hours to firm up.
Before serving, dust with icing sugar, add extra fruit, or drizzle chocolate if desired.
