- 8 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/3 cup Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Flour
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder

- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Coffee Soak
- 1/2 cup brewed expresso or strong coffee *cooled
- 2/3 tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions
Coffee soak:
- Start by making the coffee soak so it can cool. Simply stir warm coffee with the sweetened condensed milk and set aside.
Crepe's:
- In a large bowl or blender, whisk in water, eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Then slowly add in the milk, mixing till a smooth batter forms.
- Strain batter through a fine mesh strainer, to get rid of any clumps
- Preheat a frying pan on medium heat, then add a drizzle of oil and use about 1/4 cup batter to fry. (8 inch pan) Continue frying till you've used up all the batter and set crepes aside to cool.
Cream Filling:
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, add in the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. Beat on high till smooth and creamy. (2-5 min)
- With mixer on, slowly drizzle in the heavy cream, and continue beating till thick peaks form (carful not to overmix or will seperate!) Set aside
Assemble Cake:
- Start by laying down one crepe on your cake stand or serving plater. Using a pastry brush, brush the cooled coffee mixture all over the crepe. Then using about 2 tbsp of cream, spread into an even layer all over the surface. And once again place a crepe on top and repeat till all used up.
- Once on your last layer, sprinkle cocoa powder over the top to create a beautiful finish. You can leave like that, or add whatever you would like on top! *chocolate shavings, fruits etc.
Serve the cake:
- Place the cake in the fridge or freeze for up to 1-2 hours. This help keep everything together when cutting.
- When serving, use a sharp knife to cut into the crepe cake. If it seemes to be sticking to the knife, you can dip the knife hot water before cutting. Enjoy!
