How to make Chocolate Pancake Cake step by step:
- First, prepare the batter for the chocolate crepes. To do this, beat the egg with the sugar.
- Chop the chocolate and melt it in the microwave. Keep in mind that it melts quite quickly, so start with 2-3 minute intervals, stir and check if it’s done. It is better to do this step little by little to burn the chocolate.
Trick: You can also melt it in a bain-marie or use cocoa powder and mix it with the flour.
- Mix the chocolate with the egg and sugar and add the milk. You almost have the dough for the crepes ready to make the chocolate pancake cake
- Lastly, add the flour and mix well. Then, put a pan on the fire with a little oil or butter.
Tip: If you want, you can add a touch of cinnamon powder.
- Cook the pancakes until you finish the dough and reserve so that they cool down
- While they cool, prepare the chocolate pancake pie filling. We have chosen one made from cream cheese, but if you prefer you can select another that you like. To make it, beat the cheese until you get a cream texture
- Add the vanilla essence and continue beating. Then, add the sugar little by little and without stopping mixing.
- Now all that remains is to assemble the chocolate and cheese pancake cake. To do this, take a crepe and place it on the plate that you are going to use to serve, spread a layer of filling and place another pancake on top. Repeat the process until the crepes are finished. Depending on the thickness of the layers, you may need to prepare a little more filling, to your liking!
Tip: Pancakes must be cold.
- If you want, you can cover the entire chocolate cream cheese pancake cake with the leftover filling, or leave it as is and just sprinkle a little sugar. As you can see, it is a very simple, attractive and cheap dessert, perfect for any occasion, such as a birthday or Valentine’s Day.
