Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 4 eggs
- 800 ml milk
- 10 tablespoons flour
- Sugar and salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Cream:
- 500 grams cream cheese
- 250 ml cream
- 250 grams sweetened condensed milk
- Strawberries or other berries for filling and decoration
Instructions:
- Begin by making the pancakes. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then gradually incorporate the milk, flour, sugar, and salt to form a smooth batter. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, pour in some batter to form thin pancakes, and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all the batter is used.
- For the cream, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese along with the sweetened condensed milk.
- To assemble the cake, place a pancake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream over the pancake, then add a layer of sliced strawberries or your chosen berries. Repeat the layering process with the remaining pancakes and cream, finishing with a layer of cream and a decorative arrangement of berries on top.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Enjoy this delightful Summer Pancake Cake, a perfect treat that promises to bring a taste of joy and freshness to your table!
