Directions
Prepare the Strawberry Sauce:
Combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
Cook over medium-low heat until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens.
Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cool.
Make the Crepes:
In a bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, cake flour, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add red food coloring to achieve desired color.
Sift the batter once or twice for smoothness.
Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over low heat, pour a cup of batter, and spread evenly by tilting the pan.
Cook each crepe for about 1 minute or until easy to lift; cool on a wire rack.
Whipped Cream Preparation:
In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and 58g of strawberry sauce.
Beat until stiff peaks form using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
Assemble the Crepe Cake:
Place a crepe on a cake stand, spread a layer of whipped cream, then a layer of strawberry sauce, and add fresh strawberry slices.
Repeat, alternating layers, ending with a crepe on top.
Top with a layer of strawberry sauce and decorate with fresh strawberries.
Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
