Nutella Crepe Cake Recipe Instructions
Ingredients
For Crepes
-
-
-
2 cups flour
-
2 tbps. Sunflower oil
-
1 tsp. Salt
-
1 cup water (plus extra if needed)
-
-
For Filling
-
-
-
17 oz. Nutella at room temperature
-
1.7 oz. butter, melted
-
8 tbsp. powdered sugar
-
1 egg white, lightly beaten
-
5 tbsps. white sugar
-
3 tbsps. whole hazelnuts
-
4 or 6 mistletoe sprigs
-
-
Directions
-
-
In a bowl place the flour, oil and salt. Add the water and mix with a wire whisk, adding more water if necessary, as this is a thick and runny mix.
-
Transfer the mix to a blender and blend until it’s smooth and no lumps remain.
-
Heat a small non-stick or crepe pan at low temperature. Using a wide brush (about 2 inches), brush the pan with the crepe mix, starting from the edges first and finishing with the center. You want a thin layer, and if you get any holes, just brush again as needed.
-
Cook until the edges are dry and the crepe turns white. Lift with the tips of your fingers and place on a platter or cutting board to cool. Repeat to make as many crepes as needed.
-
Center one crepe in your prettiest plate, platter or tray. Brush with the melted butter (use very little), then sprinkle about ½ tbsp. of powdered sugar. Cover with another crepe and repeat brushing with butter and sprinkling with sugar.
-
Fill up your piping sleeve with Nutella, and pipe the Nutella over the crepe in concentric circles (do as much or as little Nutella as you prefer).
-
Top with two crepes, brushing each with butter and sprinkling with sugar, then repeat piping the Nutella.
-
Repeat until all crepes are stacked and the top of the “cake” is a layer of crepes.
-
Sprinkle the final cake with a good amount of powdered sugar.
-
For the mistletoe garnish, carefully wash and dry the sprigs. Brush them with egg and sprinkle with plain sugar for the “snowy” look. Arrange over the cake with the hazelnuts.
-
Slice with a sharp knife, as this is a very delicate cake.
