The history of the pancake cake is fascinating. It has its roots in culinary traditions of combining simple ingredients to create delicious dishes. Pancakes, in particular, have been part of people's meals around the world, evolving into various forms and flavors over time. Today, we will add a modern touch with a creamy vanilla pudding!
Ingredients:
For pancakes:
- 2 large eggs
- 500 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-2 tablespoons vanilla extract (or to taste)
- Oil for frying
- Flour (approximately 250 g, or as needed)
For pudding:
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding (approximately 40 g)
- 500 ml milk
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Preparation:
1. Prepare the pancakes: In a large bowl, beat the two eggs with a whisk until frothy. Gradually add the milk, continuously mixing to obtain a smooth consistency. Add the baking powder and vanilla extract, mixing again.
2. Begin incorporating the flour, a little at a time, mixing carefully. It is important to achieve a fluid mixture, but not too runny, similar to cream. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes; this will make the pancakes fluffier.
3. In a non-stick skillet, heat a little oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, forming medium-sized pancakes. Fry each pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter (you should get about 6 pancakes).
4. Prepare the pudding: In another bowl, mix the pudding packet with the sugar. Then, gradually add the 500 ml of milk, stirring to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Once the pudding is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Assemble the cake: On a platter, place the first pancake, then spread an even layer of vanilla pudding on top. Continue alternating pancakes with pudding until all ingredients are used, ensuring that the last pancake is topped with a generous layer of pudding.
6. Decorate: You can adorn the pancake cake with whipped cream, coconut flakes, fresh fruits, or grated chocolate, depending on your preferences. Each variant will add an extra flavor and an attractive appearance.
Practical tips:
- You can add cocoa to the pancake batter to make chocolate pancakes. These pair excellently with vanilla pudding.
- If you want a healthier version, you can use plant-based milk (almond, soy, or coconut) and whole wheat flour.
- The pudding can be replaced with another flavor, such as chocolate or caramel, to vary the dessert.
- The pancake cake can be stored in the fridge and consumed the next day, being just as delicious.
