Chocolate Pancake Cake with Berries
By Luisa Vazquez
Step-by-step preparation
- In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and sugar thoroughly
- Sift the cocoa over the mixture
- In another bowl, beat together the almond milk, eggs, butter and vanilla essence
- Add the liquid mixture to the bowl of flour and stir until smooth. Do not beat; mix lightly until all the ingredients combine
- Whip the cream until very firm and keep in the refrigerator
- Preheat the 25 cm Saladmaster Titanium Frying Pan over medium heat until a few drops of water glide across the surface like mercury (5–7 minutes)
- Reduce the temperature to minimum, brush the base of the frying pan with vegetable oil and adjust the heat as you cook the pancakes
- Measure out one-fifth of the batter (to make 5 pancakes) and pour onto the preheated griddle. Move the frying pan to spread the batter evenly
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface. Turn over and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until done.
- Set the pancake aside on a plate
- Continue cooking pancakes with the remaining batter; you should get about 5. Adjust the heat between minimum and medium as needed, then set aside until cold
- To finish the cake, put down one pancake, top with a layer of cream and mixed berries and repeat until all the pancakes are used. Decorate the top layer with cream and the remaining berries to taste.
- Keep the cake in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
- To make slicing easier, secure the layers with bamboo skewers and cut with a serrated knife
