Day #5: Layered Crêpe Cake with Banana & Nutella Filling


Hello everybody!! I'm back with my Nutella 7-days marathon. I'm sorry for the break.. Sometimes I feel continuity is not my game.. :(


Whenever I think of something that is in between omlette and a pancake and of course better than both, then it is a crêpe... Preparing crêpe is not so common in my kitchen but I always love to have it with nutella and banana. Crêpe with nutella and banana is one of my favourite combos.

With this I got the idea of doing something with nutella and I got the recipe of the day & recipe for the marathon, "Layered Crêpe Cake with Banana & Nutella Filling". A cake that requires no baking.....

Initially, my plan was to prepare a pure Nutella Crêpe cake but then I modified my recipe by adding banana to it. Believe me guys, it was a Yum Yum!!

Here we go with the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp Butter, melted
2 tbsp Nutella
1 banana, thinly sliced


Method:

Sieve the flour into a deep bowl. Add egg and start whisking. Pour milk little-by-little and mix well. Add water, salt, sugar and 1 tbsp butter and mix well until smooth. The batter should be of heavy cream consistency.

Heat a non-stick pan at medium heat. Pour 2 tbsp batter and swirl into round shape. Cook for a minute or until golden brown and flip to other side for few seconds. Remove from heat. Let it cool for sometime.


Meanwhile, heat Nutella along with 1 tbsp butter for about 20 seconds in microwave. It depends on the microwave, so check in between. Nutella must be a smooth consistency so it will be easy to work with.

Now layer each crêpe with Nutella in between them. I included banana slices after 5 layers of crêpe with nutella filling and then another banana layer after next 5 layers of crêpe.


Cover the final layer of crêpe and edges with remaining Nutella. Garnish with banana slices.

Enjoy!!
