makes 14 crepes, 2 x 7 layer chocolate crape cake
Filling
4Bananas or sweetener of choice
½teaspoon/ 2.5ml Vanilla aroma
2½cup/ 800ml Whipped cream
Instructions
Measure flour, cocoa powder, eggs, butter and salt into a bowl.
Pour in milk and soda water then mix everything together until getting a uniform textured batter.
Heat a frying-pan over medium-high heat and brush some melted butter on top.
Pour a spoonful of the batter onto the pan.
Tilt the frying-pan around until it is covered with the batter. Try to make similar sized crepes for the cake layers.
Depending on the heat we use, one side of the crepe can be done in 1 - 3 minutes. Check the bottom of the crepe. If it doesn't stick, it's good to go. Sometimes it's good even if it sticks. When the top starts to show signs of dryness, it should be good to flip.
Flip the crepe then bake for about half the time the first side needed.
When golden brown spots starts to appear, take the crepe out and start the next one. Repeat until all the batter is finished.
Let the crepes cool before layering them with cream.
Whip cream and mix in the bananas or sweetener of choice. Bananas need to be ripe with a couple of brown spots.
Layer the crepes with the cream.
Once the layers are done, cover the cake gently so the top layer won't dry out and put the cake into the fridge for at least a couple of hours so the cream can set. Mind not to use bananas as sweetener if the plan is to keep the cake there for days.
The longer the cake can set, the better we can slice but after about four days it won't provide so much pleasures as the first day.
