This is a cake my son loves! It is time consuming because you have to make the crepes…but it is well worth the effort. The flavour is very heavy on vanilla (which I like) but you could switch it to almond extract for a change.
Crepes
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
1/4 cup shortening, melted
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vegetable oil
FILLING
2 cups whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla
Skor Toffee bits
icing sugar for garnish
Crepes - combine all ingredients for crepes in a food processor, blender or bowl. Mix until you have a smooth thin batter. Cover and let rest 30 minutes. Heat a non stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Brush pan lightly with oil. Add about 1/2 cup batter to pan. Swirl batter around pan and pour excess back into bowl so crepe will be very thin. Cook until bottom browns, 2-3 minutes, turn crepe over to cook other side. Flip out onto plate. Repeat until all batter is used. You should have 10 to 14 crepes.
Filling- Whip cream in a large bowl until thick and cream holds its shape. Beat in vanilla.
Assemble - place one cooled crepe on platter. Spread a layer of whipping cream and then sprinkle with about 2 tbsp toffee bits. Continue until crepes/whipping cream are used up. Finish with a layer of whipping cream and toffee bits. Sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.
