Crepe Cake
Place 1 crepe on a serving plate. Take 1 heaped Tablespoon of Chocolate frosting and spread over the crepe. Place another crepe on top and frost.
Repeat until all the crepes have been used.
Spread extra frosting ontop of the last crepe.
Spread cream on top of the crepe cake and decroate with fresh strawberries and grated chocolate.
The cake can be served immediately or, if a bit unstable, place in the fridge for 1-2 hours for the frosting and cream to thicken and act like glue.
Serve with the leftover whipped cream and extra strawebrries.
Crepes
Place the wet ingredients into a bowl and whisk.
Place the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and lightly whisk.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and whisk until just combined and no lumps remain. Do not over mix.
Heat a frypan over medium heat until hot. Grease with oil spray or butter. Use a 1/4 Cup measure and 2/3rd fill it with the crepe batter. Pour gently onto the hot pan, spreading into a thin layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the up side is almost cooked through and the underside is a golden. Flip the crepe and cook until it too is golden (approximately 1-2 minutes).
Repeat with the remaining mixture, remembering to regrease/butter the pan between each crepe.
Allow each crepe to cool before adding it to the Crepe Cake (only 5 minutes)
Chocolate Frosting
Place all the ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth.
Add the extra cream if desired.Use immediately or place in the fridge.
The frosting tastes better after 24 hours (and improves with age) as the sweet potato flavour lessens. If using it immediately add 1-2 Tablespoons extra of sweetner and cocoa.
Whipped Cream
Scoop the thickened cream from the tin, discarding the watery liquid at the bottom.
Place the cream in a mixing bowl of a kitchen stand and beat using a whisk attachment.
Add the maple syrup and vanilla and continue whisking until thick. Depending on your taste buds you may require more sweetener.
Place the cream back in the fridge ti thicken before using.
