Method
1️⃣ Preparing pancakes
First, we will prepare PKU American pancakes according to a separate recipe. Mix all the ingredients and bake in butter on both sides until golden. Let the finished pancakes cool completely so that the cream does not melt when layering.
2️⃣ Cream – cake topping
First, whip the vegan mascarpone separately until it is completely smooth.
This step is important – if the mascarpone is not mixed separately, lumps could remain in the cream.
After whipping the separate vegan mascarpone, gradually add the vegan whipped cream and mix until a smooth, stiff cream is formed .
3️⃣ Layering – pancake tower
Place the first pancake on a tray or plate and spread a thin layer of cream on it . Cover with another pancake and repeat the process until you have a pancake tower .
Spread the remaining cream over the top and sides of the entire cake .
4️⃣ Decorating
We will decorate the cake according to our own imagination . 🎥 Our decoration ideas are captured in the video below:
