Instructions

Instructions:

  • Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl, beat eggs and gradually add hot milk and boiling water. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then stir in honey/maple syrup and vegetable oil.
  • Step 2: Let the Batter Rest
    Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 3: Cook the Crepes
    Heat a non-stick skillet, grease it lightly, pour in batter, and cook until edges lift. Flip and cook again. Stack crepes on a plate.
  • Step 4: Make the Cream Filling
    Beat cream cheese until smooth, add powdered sugar and sour cream. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with honey/maple syrup, then fold into cream cheese mixture.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Cake
    Layer crepes and cream filling on a platter until stacked, spreading filling in between layers.
  • Step 6: Chill and Serve
    Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours. Top with whipped topping, strawberries, and chocolate shavings before serving.
