Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 medium ripe peaches (sliced)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 5 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the crepe is golden underneath, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 15-18 crepes. Stack the crepes on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
To make the raspberry sauce, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and almond extract until stiff peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
Slice the peaches thinly and set aside. Reserve some for garnishing the top of the cake if desired.
To assemble the cake, place one crepe on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the crepe, then arrange a few peach slices in a single layer. Top with another crepe and repeat the process, alternating layers of whipped cream, peaches, and occasionally drizzling raspberry sauce, until all the crepes are stacked.
Finish the cake by spreading a final layer of whipped cream on top. Arrange the reserved peaches and drizzle more raspberry sauce decoratively. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Refrigerate the crepes cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled.
