Steps:
- Put the flour, eggs, milk, 1 tbsp melted butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl or large jug, then whisk to a smooth batter.
- Set aside for 30 mins to rest if you have time, or start cooking straight away.
- Set a frying pan or crêpe pan that has a base measurement of 15-16cm over a medium heat and, using kitchen paper, carefully wipe it with a little melted butter. When hot, cook each pancake for 1 min on each side until golden, keeping them warm in a low oven as you go. You should end up with 12.
- For the filling, whisk together all the ingredients until semi whipped and still spreadable, the more you whisk it the harder it will be to spread on the pancakes. You can adjust the consistency by whisking more as you go along or loosening the mix by adding a little double cream.
- Layer the pancakes with 2-3 tbsp of the filling, spreading it evenly to the edges, alternating between filling and pancake, finishing with a layer of filling. Put in the fridge to set for 1 hr, or leave overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the drizzle to go on top. Boil together the sugar, lemon juice and 100ml water until the sugar has dissolved and you have a syrup, then set aside to cool.
- For a neater finish, trim the edges of the chilled crêpe cake with a sharp knife so you can see the layers, if you like. Drizzle over the lemon syrup and cut into slices to serve.

Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to make the crepe batter. This will ensure that the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Be sure to preheat your pan before cooking the crepes. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
- Cook the crepes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crepes will brown too quickly and may not cook through.
- Use a thin layer of batter when cooking the crepes. This will help to ensure that they are thin and delicate.
- Flip the crepes carefully. If you flip them too quickly, they may tear.
- Allow the crepes to cool completely before assembling the cake. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
- When assembling the cake, be sure to spread the filling evenly between the layers. This will help to ensure that each bite is equally delicious.
- Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make the cake easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Mille crepe cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this cake at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your cake turns out perfect.
