If you’re looking to add a dessert to your brunch table, then look no further. This Chocolate Crepe Cake Is a great choice. With tender chocolate crepes layered with fluffy chocolate whipped cream then topped with sweet berries. It will be sure to please.

Once the Spring and Summer months roll around, I enjoy having small get togethers, but not for dinner and drinks but for Brunch. It is one of my favorite meals. It’s low key and always satisfying. The best part about doing it in the warmer months is that you are able to bring it outdoors to enjoy the weather. Since I tend to have a few Brunch get togethers a year, I like to change things up a bit, serving something different every time. Now Crepes are usually a staple at my Brunch get togethers. They are light and versatile and everyone seems to enjoy them. So I was thinking, how do I incorporate Crepes into my Brunch menu but in a different way. That is when this Chocolate Crepe Cake came to mind. It has the tender layers of Crepes and the delicious flavor of creamy chocolate whipped cream, but instead of serving individual portions, I stacked them into a visually appealing cake that made the perfect addition to my Brunch table.

The best part is that Crepes are simple to make. With very few ingredients (that you probably already have) you can have this cake made in no time.

What You Need To Make A Chocolate Crepe Cake

  • Eggs: I use cage free organic eggs. In my opinion, cafe free eggs have more flavor.
  • Milk: I used 2%
  • Butter: I would go with unsalted so that you can control the amount of salt in your recipe.
  • Granulated Sugar: For added sweetness.
  • Vanilla Extract: I always opt for the pure vanilla extract rather than the imitation vanilla extract. A bit more pricy but you can’t beat that bold flavor.
  • All Purpose Flour:
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I like a Double Dark Unsweetened Cocoa. It brings deep chocolate flavor to your recipes.
  • Espresso Powder: I always add Espresso Powder to chocolate dishes. Espresso Powder will enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Salt:
  • Heavy Whipping Cream:
  • Powdered Sugar:
  • Fresh Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and currants.
