This cake was inspired by a photo/recipe in Martha Stewart a few years ago for a chocolate crepe cake.
I just my regular crepe recipe with a bit of cocoa added. I used a cashew cream between layers until I ran out so I used a blueberry filling.
Simple Breakfast Crepes:
1 3/4 Cups Flour
1 1/4 Cups Liquid (apple juice, water, soy milk...)
4 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 1/2 Cups Soy(/Rice/Oat/Nut) Milk
4 Tablespoons Oil
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt
Mix all together until the bumps and lumps are gone.
Ladle a small amount into a warm frying pan, or use an electric crepe maker. Pick up the pan and rotate until the batter doesn't spread anymore and let cook on one side until the other side is done.
To make the cake, keep layering crepe with the filling of your choice until it's as tall as you want, or you run out of crepes.
This was a very intensive process! And unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my cashew cream thick/strong enough to support so many crepes. None of that matters when you taste it though - it was great, but something I'd rather have someone else make for me.

I have made this cake before too, and it was the most stunning thing I have ever made. And so totally delicious too.
whoa!!! cool. too cool for words, actually.
Happy (belated) veganiversary! I'm thinking about making this cake too. What recipe did you use for the cashew cream, if you don't mind my asking? Thanks!
Seitan - I just made up the cashew creme like I normally do - soaked cashews, soy/rice milk and a touch a powdered sugar. I blend it in the food processor adding more as needed to get the right consistancy
