The preparation

6 steps, about 30 minutes start to finish.

  1. 01

    Make crepes ahead of time and let cool completely.

  2. 02

    Layer crepes with a thin spread of lemon curd between each layer.

  3. 03

    Stack all crepes to build the cake.

  4. 04

    Refrigerate or freeze until firm (at least 1 hour).

  5. 05

    Top with whipped cream and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

  6. 06

    Slice like a cake to reveal layers.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Keep the curd layers thin and make sure the crepes are fully cooled before stacking, or the whole thing slides apart. Chill the finished cake until firm so it slices into clean layers instead of squishing.”
