French 10 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- To make the crêpe cake mix, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and 1 tsp of salt.
- Add 3 large eggs, melted butter, 750ml of milk, water, 40g of caster sugar, zest of 1 orange and 1 tsp cinnamon and whisk until smooth. Allow the batter to rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
- To make the filling, heat 500ml of the milk, the cinnamon sticks and the rind of 1 orange in a saucepan over a medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the corn flour, a pinch of salt, 65g of caster sugar and 2 large eggs. Add the remaining 100ml milk and stir to combine.
- Once the 500ml milk reaches boiling point, add it to the egg mixture gradually while whisking.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks and orange rind and pour the milk mixture back into the pan.
- Over a low heat, bring the custard up to the boil, whisking gently. Cook for several minutes until thickened before adding the orange blossom water.
- Pour into a bowl and cover with cling film. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk the whipping cream until soft peak stage.
- Add half the cream to the custard and whisk to loosen the consistency of the custard. Reserve the remaining cream for finishing.
- Create layers by placing one crêpe on the base and spread with 1 tbsp of whipped custard cream.
- Combine the remaining caster sugar, 2 tsp of cinnamon and finely grated zest of the remaining orange and rub together to release the oils. Sprinkle half a teaspoon of this over the custard.
- Repeat the process until all the filling and crêpes have been used up.
- Pile the remaining whipped cream on top of the crêpe stack. Chill for an hour before slicing.
- Decorate with dried orange slices and serve.
