Rainbow Crepe Cake for Elias' birthday

I wanted to make this Crepe Cake for a while. Finally I have a good reason for it. I risked making this because I am not sure if it will be enough for the guest that we are having over for Elias' birthday. We ended up had about 15 people including children. And I have half a cake left over. Not that it doesn't taste good but it is very filling.

 
Here's the recipe I made:

Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup Melted butter 
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 1 can of evaporate milk
  • 8 Eggs 
  • 2/3 cup Cake flour 
  • 1/3 cup All purpose flour 
  • 1/4 Tsp. Salt 
  • Food coloring (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red) The rainbow color 
  • 1.5 litre Whipping cream 
  • 1 cup Icing sugar
Next is the steps that I did to make rainbow crepe cake:
  1. Beat eggs 
  2. Add evaporate milk into the mixture then add coconut milk. Mix well until combine. 
  3. Add melted butter. Make sure it's not too hot so it won't cook the eggs. Mix well to combine. 
  4. On the other bowl, mix 2 kinds of flour. Add salt and mix.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together until smooth. 
  6. Divide the dough into 6 small bowls. I divided them equally.
  7. Add each food coloring to each bowl and mix together until you get the color that you like 
  8. Heat the pan. I used very low heat. I rubbed butter on the pan a bit just to help it not to stick on the pan.
  9. Add the first mixture into the pan. I only use 1/4 cup at a time. I got 3 crepes from each color. I recommended to start with purple color first so that when you put each layers together you will have purple on top just like the rainbow color. 
  10. Once your crape cooked, remove by flip it onto a wire rack.  Once it cooled down, I moved it onto wax paper.
  11. Cook all the crepe. Make sure you put wax paper in between each crepe so that it won't stuck together later.
  12. Beat whipping cream with icing sugar.
  13. Now this step, we are going to put it together. Place the first crape on a cake stand or a cake plate. Start with red color. Then add whipped cream on the crepe. Make sure you add enough whipped cream so that it won't taste just like dough. After that put another red crepe on and add whipping cream. Keep doing this start from red , orange, yellow, green, blue and purple color until you use up all your crepe. 
  14. Put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set the cream. 
  15. Done!
The bump you see is from where we put the candles. I wasn't fast enough to take pictures.
 
It took me a few hours to make this crepe cake but it turned out really beautiful. Cooking the crepe took me the longest. My stove is not the easiest stove to control the heat.

  1. This sounds like a cake for me :-) I love crepes and this sounds lovely with the whipped cream - I've never combined cream with icing sugar before so I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing :-)
