Einkorn Crepe Cake with Fall Stone Fruit

I was so excited to receive a bag of Einkorn all-purpose flour for a product review.  I had been researching the health benefits and nutrition of the ancient grain with possibilities of being more gentle on the tummy for those with gut issues.  Please go the the highlighted links for more fascinating history and nutrition of the Einkorn grain.
 

 

I loved the golden color of my crepes along with a nutty flavor, which I feel enhanced my basic crepe.  
 
 
I decided to top my crepe cake with a variety locally grown stone fruit.  I gathered a juicy variety of plums, nectarines and peaches from my local farmers market.  
 
 
To make enough crepes for the  Einkorn Crepe cake you will need:
 
9 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups water
3 1/2 cups Einkorn all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
9 tablespoons butter
 
This recipe should make approximately 28-30 crepes depending on how thick you make them and the size of the pan used.  My crepe pan makes an 8-inch crepe.  
 
Follow the step-by-step instructions for my basic crepes
 

I place each hot crepe on a cooling rack.

Crepes can be layered with waxed paper or plastic wrap and kept in the freezer for 2-3 weeks.  I generally make my crepes a week in advance.  It makes the cake quicker to assemble.  Just thaw the crepes at room temperature before stacking.

Let’s assemble this gorgeous cake.

 

Once crepes have cooled completely or completely thaw, if pre-made and frozen, we can begin stacking and filling the crepe cake.

For the Mascarpone filling you will need:

1 lb Mascarpone cheese
1/3 cup light flavored honey
3 cups heavy cream
zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla

Place 1 lb mascarpone in a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment.

Add 1/3 cup honey

Cream together.  Take care not to over beat the mascarpone.  It doesn’t like a good beating.

 

Set aside.

 

Whip 3 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Add whipped to cream to the mascarpone mixture.

I changed to a whisk attachment to whip the mixtures together.

Add the zest from one lemon.

Add 2 teaspoons vanilla.

Let the layering process begin.

I like to use a small ice cream scoop.  This scoop holds about 2 tablespoons.  I like to have each layer with equal amount of filling.  Using a scoop helps make the measurement quick and quite precise.

Spread an even layer over each crepe.  Notice that the filling is a very thin layer.

Continue stacking a spreading until the mascarpone filling has all been used.

Helpful tip:

I like the cake to have a ruffled edge look.  I achieve this by alternating the crepes “top side” up and “bottom side” up.  If I layered them with all of the topsides up, the cake would droop downward and would not have a ruffled effect.  Does this make sense?

I believe I have approximately 28-30 crepes stacked.  This makes an impressive size cake that won’t droop or lean.

To top our masterpiece you will need:

1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add the honey and vanilla to the cream.

Whip until soft peaks form.

Spread over the top cream to make a perfect blanket for the fruit.

Give it a dusting of confectioners sugar, if desired.  I desire.

 

 

The golden crepes from the Einkorn flour look so beautiful with the stone fruit.

Lovely.

Happy Birthday to my dear neighbor, Nancy.  You are worth this and more.

    Your cake looks absolutely divine, and the step-by-step instructions are really detailed. I have pondered a few times whether or not to try and make a crêpe cake, but I am always worried about the cutting part…

      The only cutting you have to worry about is the first and last slice. Other than that "piece of cake" 🙂

I have always been afraid of making sorbet because I have always been afraid of making sorbet because I never knew just how much sugar to add to the recipe. 

Then I found this little tip!!

Drop a clean, uncooked egg into the sorbet mixture.  If the egg sinks to the bottom, more sugar syrup is needed.  

Slowly drizzle and stir in more syrup until the egg begins to float to the top of the mixture.  

You only want a quarter size of the egg showing.  Once you see this much of the egg, you have added enough of the sugar syrup.  Remove the egg and save it for baking a cake.  

Why do this test?  Well if you don’t add enough sugar syrup to the base, the sorbet will be icy and more like a granita.  

If you add too much syrup, the sorbet will be more like a slush and not form a nice shiny scoop.  
Who knew? 🤷🏼‍♀️
