No-Bake Nutella Crêpe Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
A crêpe cake is a childhood dream realized: when one pancake isn't enough. The layering technique (mille crêpes) gives the cake a dense yet soft texture. The warm crêpes slightly melt the hazelnut spread, which firms up again upon chilling, allowing the cake to be sliced like a real gateau.

Instructions

1 ✓

Whisk eggs with sugar, salt, half the flour, and half the milk until smooth. Add the remaining flour and milk, finally thinning it with the club soda and mixing in the oil.

Tip: Mixing gradually avoids lumps. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes to hydrate the flour for more elastic crêpes.
2 ✓

Fry thin crêpes in a hot, lightly oiled pan. Aim for uniform thickness.

Tip: Thin crêpes create better layers.
3 ✓

Place a crêpe on a platter. Spread a thin layer of Nutella on top, then cover with the next crêpe. Repeat until used up.

Tip: If the Nutella is too stiff, place the jar in warm water to make it spreadable without tearing the crêpes.
4 ✓

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour.

Tip: This is critical: the 'glue' (Nutella) must set so the cake can be sliced.
5 ✓

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost the top and sides.

Tip: Frost just before serving to keep it fresh.
6 ✓

Slice with a knife dipped in hot water.

Tip: A hot knife glides through the Nutella without squashing the layers.

Recipe FAQ

Why do the crêpes tear?
Either the batter is too thin (add more flour) or the pan wasn't hot enough/sticking (needs oil).
The cake slides apart when slicing.
You didn't chill it enough. The hazelnut spread needs to firm up to act as the 'glue'.
