Steps

35 minutes

1

In a bowl, sift flour and cocoa powder. Add sugar and salt. Mix well and keep it aside.
2

In another bowl, add the eggs and beat them for a minute or two. Then pour milk, melted butter and vanilla. Continue to beat for 2 minutes.
3

Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until it is smooth. Avoid overmixing.
4

Heat a small pan over medium flame. Brush melted butter and pour ¼th cup of batter into the pan. Quickly swirl it.
5

Allow it to cook for a few minutes then flip and cook the other side as well. It approximately takes 1-2 minutes to cook each crepe. Remove the crepe from the pan and keep it in a plate to cool down. Repeat the same process for the rest of the crepes. You will get around 10 to 12 chocolate crepes. Allow them to cool down.
6

To make the buttercream frosting, take a medium-sized bowl. Add butter and whisk until light and creamy. Then add icing sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisk on low speed. Once all the sugar is added, pour milk, vanilla essence and salt. Beat for a couple of minutes then keep it aside.
7

To make chocolate crepe cake, place a crepe on the serving plate. Apply a generous coat of buttercream over it.
8

Then add another crepe on top and apply another layer of buttercream frosting. Keep on repeating until all the crepes are used.
9

To make the cookpad logo, draw it on a piece of baking paper, cut it and then place it over the top.
10

Sift icing or powdered sugar over it. Then carefully remove the paper.
11

Serve it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Just remember one thing, add the powdered sugar only before serving.
