Delicious Chocolate Crepe Cake for Special Occasions

Start by whisking together the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Next, slowly pour in the hot milk while mixing.

Gradually sift in the combined flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, stirring until the batter is smooth. Finally, add the melted butter and boiling water, mixing thoroughly.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour a ladle full of batter to form a crepe, cooking until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all batter is used, trimming the crepes to a diameter of 20 centimeters (about 8 inches).

In a separate bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add in the heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks form.

Transfer this cream into a piping bag and snip the tip to about 1 centimeter (0.5 inches) wide for easy decorating.

Melt the dark chocolate with the hot heavy cream in a heatproof bowl, stirring until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool.

In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar, then gently fold in the cooled chocolate ganache. Finally, add the remaining heavy cream and whip until smooth.

Place this cream into another piping bag for later use.

Start stacking the crepes on a serving plate. Apply the first cream filling in stripes across each layer, alternating with crepes until you use about ten crepes.

For decorative purposes, whip all ingredients for the decorative cream until stiff peaks form, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a decorative nozzle. Decorate the sides and top of the cake, and for a simple finish, dust the top with a little cocoa powder.

Allow the assembled cake to chill in the refrigerator for a bit before serving. This will enhance the flavors and make it easier to slice. Enjoy your delicious chocolate crepe cake with friends and family!
