• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Cooling rack

How to Make Easy Lemon Blueberry Layered Crepe Cake for Special Occasions

Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter

Whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. You’ll want a consistency that is somewhat thin but still coats the back of a spoon. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid. This resting period improves the texture of the crepes.

Step 2: Cook the Crepes

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of crepe batter into the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom.

Cook the crepe for 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to peel away from the skillet, and the surface is set. Flip it over with a spatula and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the cooked crepe to a cooling rack. Repeat this process until you’ve made all your crepes (approximately 10-12). Keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

Step 3: Make the Lemon Cream

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Then, gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Layer the Cake

Now comes the fun part! Place one crepe on a serving platter and spread a thin layer of lemon cream on top. Sprinkle a layer of blueberries over the cream. Repeat this process, layering a crepe, then cream, and blueberries until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a crepe on top. You can drizzle any leftover lemon cream on the top layer for an extra touch.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Place the assembled cake in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to firm up. This makes slicing much easier!

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Prepare the crepes the day before and store them in the fridge, separated with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• If you notice the crepes aren’t browning evenly, adjust your heat slightly. They should be golden but not burnt.
• Customize with seasonal fruits to enhance the cake with different flavors.
• Make a double batch to share this deliciousness with even more friends!
• If the lemon cream curdles, simply whisk it again while slowly adding in a splash of milk until smooth.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover crepe cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped tightly. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.
