CHEF JOHN'S STRAWBERRY CREPE CAKE
Using this simple 'crepe cake' technique, you can turn any of your favorite cake fillings into visually stunning, multi-layered masterpieces. By the way, I say this is simple, not fast, as it does take some time to make and stack all those crepes, but once you get rolling, it goes pretty quickly. Use the ingredient amounts only as a guide, as crepe sizes and filling amounts will vary. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Steps:
- Pour eggs, flour, sugar, salt, oil, milk, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend, starting on low speed and finishing on high, until combined. Refrigerate batter for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop strawberry jam into a saucepan. Rinse out jar with water and pour into the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and stir. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from heat, and stir. Let cool to room temperature.
- Brush some butter over a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/4 cup batter; tilt pan to coat evenly. Cook until crepes bubble and brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, buttering the pan between crepes. Let cool completely before stacking, at least 15 minutes.
- Combine mascarpone cheese, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk together until stiff peaks form.
- Lay a crepe onto a large plate. Spoon on 2 or 3 tablespoons of the cream mixture, spreading it almost to the edge. Swirl in some strawberry jam. Transfer finished crepe onto a flat serving plate. Repeat with remaining crepes, cream, and jam. Center each crepe over the previous one in a stack. Gently press on a final plain crepe to finish.
- Refrigerate until completely chilled before cutting and serving.

CRêPE GâTEAU WITH STRAWBERRY PRESERVES AND CRèME FRAîCHE
Steps:
- Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and the salt. Make a well in the center, and fill it with the eggs, egg yolks, and a few tablespoons milk; whisk until a thick, smooth paste forms. Add the remaining milk, and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Melt the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet with a 6-inch-diameter bottom; pour into the batter, leaving a coating of butter in the skillet. Let the batter rest at room temperature at least 1 hour.
- Over medium heat, warm the skillet thoroughly. Lift the skillet off the heat; stir the batter, and carefully ladle 3 tablespoons into the skillet. Immediately rotate the skillet so the batter is thinly spread evenly across the bottom to the edges. Return the skillet to the heat; cook the crêpe until the edges are golden brown and lacy, about 1 minute. Carefully flip the crêpe; cook the other side until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Slide the crêpe out of the skillet onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crêpes on top of one another. Let the crêpes cool completely.
- Place the crème fraîche in a medium bowl set in an ice-water bath. Add the vanilla and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar; whip until the mixture holds a line drawn by the whisk.
- To assemble: Place 1 crêpe on a serving platter. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon preserves on top; using an offset spatula, spread in a thin layer over the crêpe, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover with another crêpe, stacking neatly. Spread 2 heaping tablespoons crème-fraîche mixture evenly over the crêpe, again leaving a 1/2-inch border. Continue alternating fillings with crêpes, finishing with a crêpe on top. If necessary, insert 2 long toothpicks through the layers to keep the gâteau in place. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes. Remove the toothpicks; cut into wedges before serving.
