For the cream:

  • Whipped cream;
  • Nutella or any other chocolate spread.

Recipe:

This is one of the easiest recipes for this dessert. To make the pancakes, simply combine all the ingredients for the batter and beat with a mixer or blender. It's best to let the batter rest in the refrigerator for a while (half an hour to an hour), but this is optional. Fry thin pancakes from the mixture in a hot frying pan with butter. The diameter of the pancakes will determine the size of the cake, so make them uniform.

Form the cake. Layer the pancakes and, every other layer, spread them with either chocolate spread or whipped cream. You can sprinkle cocoa or grated chocolate on top. The cake turns out stunningly beautiful; let it soak a bit, and then eat!

There's another dessert recipe where you can make your own cream. For pancake batter, use:

  • A couple of eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar
  • 300 ml of milk
  • Flour by eye
  • Salt

For the cream you will need:

  • 400 ml. milk;
  • A bar of dark chocolate (100-150 g of cocoa is fine);
  • 120 g butter;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 100 g sugar;
  • Vanilla sugar.

Step-by-step cooking recipe:

  1. Let's make the pancake batter. First, whisk together the sugar, salt, and eggs until smooth. Then add the milk. Sift the flour and add it to the liquid mixture, whisking constantly until you have a thick, sour cream-like mixture. The batter is ready! You can substitute this pancake recipe with your favorite.
  2. You can make pancakes in a waffle iron or in a frying pan. If using a frying pan, grease it with butter to prevent the pancakes from burning. Using small amounts of batter, make pancakes of medium thickness. Let the pancakes cool slightly while you prepare the cream.
  3. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the sugar and chocolate. Melt the chocolate slightly in a double boiler first; the cream will smooth out faster. Beat the eggs separately and whisk them into the runny cream. To prevent the eggs from curdling, briefly remove the saucepan from the heat, then return it to the heat with the eggs and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove the saucepan and add the butter. Stir everything together. The cream will acquire a pleasant buttery texture and a wonderful chocolate aroma.
  4. Meanwhile, the pancakes have almost cooled. Place them on a plate, one on top of the other, spreading each layer with cream. Decorate the top pancake however you like. This could include nuts, swirls of grated chocolate, any berries, or whipped cream.
  5. To ensure the cake marinates thoroughly, refrigerate it overnight, or at least for 2-3 hours. Everyone in your family will be delighted. Enjoy!

Please note that preparing this divine dessert doesn't require much time or effort, and once you get the hang of it, you'll make it almost automatically. This delicious chocolate cake is a perfect complement to morning tea or breakfast. Treat your friends to this delicacy, and they'll be sure to ask you not only for more, but also for the recipe.
