Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the milk and water, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the batter is well combined.
- Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or melted butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly.
- Cook the crêpe for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the surface looks set.
- Flip the crêpe and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked crêpe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Allow crêpes to cool completely before assembling the cake.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to stiff peaks.
- Place one crêpe on a serving platter and spread a thin layer of Speculoos spread on top.
- Add a layer of whipped cream over the Speculoos spread.
- Repeat layering crêpes, Speculoos spread, and whipped cream until all crêpes are used.
- Finish with a crêpe on top and a final layer of whipped cream.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
- Slice and serve the Vanilla & Speculoos Crêpe Cake chilled.
Notes
- Consider using brown sugar for a richer flavor in the crêpe batter.
- Enhance the vanilla flavor by adding a vanilla bean pod to the whipped heavy cream.
- For a thinner whipped cream consistency, add more heavy cream as needed.
