Tiramisu crepe cake
Cakes
Italian cuisine
This beautiful 20-layered crepe cake is one of my proudest creations. Delicately tender crepes are layered with lush liquered mascarpone cream and delightfully dark chocolate. The yen to make a crepe cake first came from a picture on Martha Stewart's site and Amanda's article in the New York Times - Building a Modern, Multistoried Dessert. The idea to make a tiramisu version came from Julia Child's admonition to never "debase" your dessert by using inferior store-bought ladyfingers. While the cake does take a little time to put together, the individual steps are simple and the final result is a showstopping decadence. The cake, once chilled, slices easily and the sight of all those layers always impresses.
