method
mix
- Whisk together your pancake mix, tapioca flour, cocoa powder and salt in a large bowl to combine.
- Add in your eggs, melted butter, vanilla and half of your milk. Whisk with a hand whisk until lump free, then add the rest of your milk and continue whisking until smooth and combined.
cook
- Dip a piece of paper towel in melted butter and use to brush the base of your non-stick crepe pan or frypan over medium heat.
- When the pan is hot, pour 1/4 of a cup of batter into your pan and tilt so the batter covers the base in a thin film.
- Cook crepe for about 1 minute so that the underside is golden, then flip with a spatula and cook the other side for just under a minute.
- Transfer crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Place crepes aside to cool completely while you whip your cream.
filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, whip your cream and vanilla essence together with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
assemble
- Use a cake tin or bowl to cut your crepes into even sized circles.
- Place your first crepe on your serving plate and spread with a generous amount of cream to cover. Place another crepe on top of cream and repeat with remaining crepes.
- Use the remaining cream to spread over the top and sides of your cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before dusting with cocoa powder and slicing to serve.
- Yum!
