"Ogres are like onions. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers."-Shrek

This divine principle of complexity is reflected in crepe cake as well. Beneath each layer lays a new experience, a further adventure. In other words, the cake is good.

Ingredients:

For the crepes:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup white sugar

• 3/4 teaspoon salt

• 6 eggs

• 3 cups whole milk

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the orange cream:

• 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar, plus 2 tbsps extra for topping

• 1/2 cup orange marmalade

• 1.5 tsps orange blossom water

• 1 orange, sliced, optional

Directions:

1. Blend together all crepe ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

2. In a lightly buttered flat pan over medium heat, pour in 1/4 cup measurements of the batter, tilting until all sides of the pan are covered. Flip when the edges begin to brown and repeat for the remainder of the batter.

3. In a large bowl, prepare the orange cream by whipping the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Sift in powdered sugar and fold in the orange marmalade and orange blossom water until combined. Continue to whip the orange cream until stiff peaks form.

4. Assemble by thinly spreading a layer of orange cream in between each crepe, until a cake forms.

5. Decorate with orange slices and extra powdered sugar!

6. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
