I made some homemade Marscapone cheese recently. This is what I made it for...
The fresh marscapone was outstanding in this cake! This cake is not difficult to make by any means, just takes a few days because of the need to rest in the fridge between the steps. I wanted to use my new french crepe pan that I got for my B-day,
so decided to make this cake for a dinner Thursday night.
First make the crepe batter...
Cook the crepes...
Stacked on wax paper between each one...
Make the filling with the Marscapone cheese...
Both in the fridge until the next day for assembly...
8" spring form pan, lay a crepe on the bottom centered.
Then spread 1/4c. of the filling over the crepe.
Repeat until all crepes are used up saving 1/4~1/3c. filling to ice the top of the cake.
Then back in the fridge overnight to firm up. The next day (day I will serve the cake) dust top with 1/4c. cocoa powder...
the layers....
the slice...
Really good cake! Wow was that delicious with a cup of good stiff cajun coffee!!
