Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 8 servings

Necessary ingredients:

- 600 ml milk
- 1 liter sparkling water
- 2 eggs
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 33 heaping tablespoons of flour
- 100 g Finetti
- 1 packet of chocolate Creme Ole (or chocolate pudding)
- 100 g ground nuts

Step by step:

1. Preparing the pancake batter: In a large bowl, add the 600 ml of milk, 1 liter of sparkling water, the 2 eggs, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, and the 33 heaping tablespoons of flour. Use a whisk or mixer to combine the ingredients until you get a smooth batter without lumps. If you have time, let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

2. Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to evenly cover the bottom. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes or until the edges turn golden, then carefully flip it and cook the other side for 1 minute. Repeat the process until you have about 20-22 pancakes. Let them cool on a wire rack.

3. Preparing the chocolate cream: In another bowl, prepare the chocolate cream according to the instructions on the Creme Ole package. If using chocolate pudding, follow the same steps, making sure to mix well for a smooth texture.

4. Assembling the cake: Choose a platter to place the pancakes on. Take the first pancake, spread a generous portion of chocolate cream over it, and place another pancake on top. Continue layering the pancakes, alternating between chocolate cream and Finetti. In the end, you should have a tempting "pyramid" of pancakes.

5. Decorating the cake: Once you have finished assembling the pancakes, cover the cake with the remaining chocolate cream. Sprinkle the ground nuts on top for added crunch and flavor. You can also add some chocolate chunks or fresh fruit for an even more attractive look.

6. Serving: Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld perfectly. Cut generous slices and enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea.

Practical tips:

- Types of flour: You can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, depending on dietary preferences. Whole wheat flour will add a rustic touch and richer flavor.
- Adding flavors: You can add rum or orange essence to the pancake batter for an extra flavor boost.
- Variations of the cream: Instead of Finetti, you can use nut or hazelnut cream, and for a more intense taste, you can add melted dark chocolate to the cream.

Nutritional benefits:

This dessert contains milk, which is a good source of calcium and protein, while the ground nuts provide healthy fats and vitamin E, beneficial for the immune system. In moderation, this pancake cake can be included in a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use plant-based milk?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with almond, coconut, or soy milk, depending on your preferences.

2. How can I make pancakes without eggs?
You can use banana or apple puree as an egg substitute. One medium banana or ¼ cup of apple puree is equivalent to one egg.

3. How long can I keep the pancake cake?
The cake will keep well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but it is best when freshly made.

To turn this recipe into a true feast, I recommend serving it alongside vanilla ice cream or fruit compote. These combinations will not only complement the flavor of the pancake cake but will also add a touch of freshness to the plate.

It’s impossible not to fall in love with this pancake cake with chocolate cream, a quick and easy dessert that will bring joy to every meal. Enjoy!
