Pancake cake with curd cream

Cookinero 4 November 2022

Pancake cake with cottage cheese cream is not just a dessert of banal pancakes. This is a real masterpiece of confectionery art, which is definitely worth the effort spent on it. Just remember that in order to get the perfect cream in this case, you will certainly need high-quality fatty cottage cheese, for example, natural plast. An important distinguishing feature of this cake from many other similar ones is the use of yeast pancakes, not unleavened ones. In our opinion, this is a very wise decision, since they are more porous, airy, so they are better saturated with curd cream, as a result of which the pancake cake acquires a uniquely delicate texture and amazing taste.

Pancake cake with curd cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly denser and nuttier pancake. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Keep in mind that you might need to adjust the liquid slightly depending on the flour you use.
Yes, you can assemble the cake a day in advance. However, the pancakes might become softer as they absorb moisture from the cream. Store it covered in the refrigerator. Decorate with the profiteroles and chocolate glaze just before serving for the best presentation.
The pancake cake will last for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Ensure it's stored in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
Mascarpone cheese can be used as a substitute for cream cheese. It will provide a similar texture and slightly richer flavor.
Freezing the entire assembled cake isn't recommended as the curd cream and pancakes can change texture. However, you can freeze the pancakes on their own. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag. Thaw completely before assembling with fresh cream.
You can use a simple syrup made from sugar and water, or a honey glaze thinned with a bit of warm water. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Yes, you can omit the yeast but the pancakes will be less fluffy and slightly chewier. Use baking powder (about 2 teaspoons) instead to help them rise. Add the baking powder along with the flour.
Consider adding berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) between the pancake layers. You can also infuse the cream with different flavors like vanilla extract, orange zest, or a hint of cinnamon. Adjust the chocolate topping to your liking - use white chocolate or add nuts.
