Pancake chocolate cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pancake chocolate cake? First of all, prepare the cream. It doesn't take long to cook, but it needs to cool before we coat the pancakes with it. Prepare your food. Take good quality chocolate; the taste of the cake will depend on its taste. I took bitter, you can take milk. Milk is suitable for any fat content.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to make cream? Mix egg, flour, sugar in a thick-bottomed saucepan, add milk to them. Mix well with a whisk to obtain a homogeneous mass.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the ladle with the milk mixture on low heat and, stirring constantly with a whisk, bring it until it thickens. This will take two to three minutes. The main thing is to constantly stir so that the mixture does not burn or turn into an omelette.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the cream from the heat and immediately add the chocolate, broken into small pieces. Stir. Chocolate in hot cream will melt very quickly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the cream with cling film directly end to end to prevent a crust from forming on top. Leave the cream to cool.

6. STEP 6

   

   Next, bake chocolate pancakes. Prepare your food. Sift the flour first - this will not only remove possible debris, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make the pancakes fluffier.

7. STEP 7

   

   How to make pancakes? Mix milk and eggs in a deep bowl. It is not necessary to beat vigorously, just mix with a whisk until smooth. This will be easier if the milk and eggs are warm.

8. STEP 8

   

   In another container, mix all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa, salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix them well.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the liquid part into the dry part and stir. You need to achieve a uniform dough, without lumps. If the consistency seems thick, add more warm milk.

10. STEP 10

    

    At the very end, pour vegetable oil into the dough. This will help future pancakes not stick to the pan.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake pancakes in a hot frying pan. Before the first pancake, grease it with oil; this will not be required in the future. Bake the pancakes on each side until golden brown.

12. STEP 12

    

    Bake all the dough this way. I baked in a frying pan with a diameter of 22 cm, I got 12 pieces.

13. STEP 13

    

    Meanwhile, the cream will have cooled down, the pancakes are ready, and you can start assembling the cake. Place the pancake one on top of the other, covering each with cream. One layer takes about two tablespoons of cream.

14. STEP 14

    

    Assemble the cake completely. Coat the sides with cream, which will be squeezed out during assembly. Place the finished cake in the refrigerator for at least three hours so that it is thoroughly soaked, then serve. Bon appetit!

I've never made pancake cakes before. Although KK has long kept similar recipes for itself. I noticed this recipe for Pancake Chocolate Cake thanks to Natalia. I really liked this recipe. Everyone in our family loves chocolate))) After carefully reading the recipe and photo review, I immediately added more milk to the pancake dough. The pancakes turned out great. They turned over and filmed well. I prepared the chocolate custard quickly; I used milk chocolate, which was available. In the evening I assembled the cake and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Decorated with grated milk and white chocolate. A wonderful dessert was ready for the morning! The cake turned out very tasty, tender, with a pronounced chocolate taste! The cake pieces held their shape well and did not fall apart. Ekaterina, thank you so much for such a great recipe. I saved it in KK and will definitely cook it again. Next time I’ll take dark chocolate, I’m sure the taste will be even more chocolatey. I recommend this recipe, because preparing the cake is really not as difficult as it seems. Here is my photo report)))

For lovers of pancakes and chocolate, this is an incredible combination 😋I added bananas to the filling and decorated everything with strawberries. I will definitely save the most delicate cream with the taste of my favorite chocolate for future cakes)

The daughter, with longing in her eyes, said that Maslenitsa was far away, but she wanted pancake cake now. The manipulation was a success) Well, how can you not please the child, especially since such a cake doesn’t take that long to make. The cake was ready when my daughter arrived from kindergarten) I chose the chocolate option, she and I are chocolate lovers. I kneaded the dough quickly, I also didn’t have enough milk, so I added about 100-150 ml. I baked it in a large frying pan with a diameter of 26 cm. It turned out nine pancakes. My favorite custard cream, I was very pleased that chocolate was added to it. Until I tried adding chocolate instead of cocoa to the cream and dough, I thought there was no difference. And here it is! Chocolate gives a very delicate and pleasant taste and consistency. Therefore, for those who will repeat the recipe, I do not advise replacing chocolate with cocoa) In the cream, I replaced one spoon of flour with corn starch, it turned out well. The chocolate cream turned out very tasty and tender! I quickly assembled the cake and grated a couple of chocolate chips on top. My cake didn’t have time to sit in the refrigerator for three hours) But it was definitely not dry, the pancakes were well glued together with cream and the cake pieces kept their shape perfectly. The cake is simply magical, very tasty, tender, and most importantly chocolate! I recommend everyone to cook, it’s not as difficult as it seems)
