This recipe combines the smooth texture of crepes with the intense flavor of dark chocolate, resulting in a treat that's perfect for any special occasion or simply to satisfy a chocolate craving.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
3 eggs
150g
3/4 cup milk (1% fat)
180g
1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1/2 cup espresso coffee
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then gradually incorporate into the flour mixture.
- Slowly add the milk to the mix, stirring continuously until you get a smooth batter.
- Finally, mix in the melted butter until fully combined.
- Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
2. Make the Crepes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around to form a thin, even layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to lift and turn golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Stack the crepes with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and heavy whipping cream.
- Heat the mixture over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the espresso coffee until fully incorporated. Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a spreadable consistency.
4. Assemble the Crepe Cake:
- Place one crepe on your serving plate. Spread a thin layer of the chocolate ganache over the crepe.
- Lay another crepe on top and repeat the process, continuing to alternate between crepes and ganache until you use all the crepes. Finish with a layer of ganache on top.
- You might have some ganache left over, which you can use to drizzle over the top or serve on the side.
5. Chill the Cake:
- Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour to let the layers set and make it easier to slice.
6. Serve:
- Slice the cake with a sharp knife and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure that the batter is smooth and lump-free for perfectly thin and delicate crepes.

- Let the crepe batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax.

- Use a non-stick pan to make flipping the crepes easier and to prevent sticking.

- Spread the chocolate ganache evenly between the crepe layers for consistent flavor in every bite.

- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.
