Tropical Crepe Layer Cake

A delicious tropical cake that'll happily dress up any celebration table. It comes together quickly and leaves plenty of room to get creative with the decorations and filling. The pancakes have an unexpected flavor that pairs beautifully with tropical fruit. I made this cake for my mom's 35th birthday. I found the recipe right here and added a few touches of my own. Very simple, tasty, and easy to pull off.

  • Start with the nuts. Rinse the hazelnuts under warm water and rub off the skins (soaking them in hot water first makes this easier). Pat them dry with a paper towel and dry them in a 210°F (100°C) oven until golden. While the nuts are in the oven, make the cake. Set the first pancake on a large round platter, spread it with the buttercream (beat the softened butter with the condensed milk), top with the next pancake, and spread on more cream. Keep layering all the pancakes this way; every 2-3 pancakes, I add a layer of banana and kiwi cut into rounds. Once all the pancakes are stacked, use the remaining cream to coat the sides and top of the cake. Grind the toasted nuts into crumbs (in a food processor or by hand) and press them onto the sides and top. Grate the chocolate on the medium side of a grater and press it onto the sides only. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the whole cake, then decorate with fruit. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours — I made mine at night, so it chilled overnight.
