In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients together until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps. Strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any remaining lumps.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This helps the flour absorb the liquid for a smoother crepe.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, immediately swirling it to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift from the pan and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes as you go.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
To assemble the crepe cake, place one crepe on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the top and scatter some fresh berries.
Top with another crepe and repeat the layering process until all the crepes are used. Finish with a layer of whipped cream and an extra scattering of berries on top.
Refrigerate the crepe cake for at least 1 hour before serving to help set the layers.
Slice and serve your Nut-Free Crepe Cake chilled or at room temperature.
