How to Make a Crepe Cake with IKEA Pancakes

I’ve seen a crepe cakes all over my social accounts for the last couple of years and have wanted one for my birthday the last two years. That hasn’t happened, though, because I don’t want to make my own birthday cake and, as far as I know, you can’t purchase a crepe cake locally.

But when I attended the IKEA Live Oak media preview, I had a light bulb moment! I’d buy a bag of IKEA pancakes (PANNKAKOR) for $5.99 and make my version of a crepe cake.

How to Make a Crepe Cake –

Ingredients:

• 1 package IKEA pancakes – PANNKAKOR
• 1 package frozen whipped topping, thawed
• Optional: strawberries, chopped

Directions:

1. Heat IKEA pancakes as directed on the package.
2. Chop strawberries while the pancakes are heating.
3. When they have slightly cooled, unfold the pancakes and lay them flat but not directly on top of one another.
4. The pancakes should be mostly cool before you start to assemble the cake.
5. On a cake plate, spread a small amount of whipped topping.
6. Place one pancake in the center of the plate on the whipped topping.
7. Spread a decent amount of whipped topping on the pancake then sprinkle desired amount of strawberries on the whipped layer.
8. Lay another pancake on the strawberries and gently press it so it’s generally flat.
9. Continue to layer the cake until you run out of pancakes.
10. Serve and enjoy!

This cake was exactly what I was hoping it would be! Sweet but not TOO sweet and so much fun to eat. Change out the strawberries for some other fruit or a chopped candy of your choice. It’s simply delicious!
