A Little Bit Fancy, Surprisingly Easy

This layered crepe cake looks like something you would order at a café, but it is surprisingly simple to make at home. Thin, delicate crepes brushed with OMGhee are stacked high with light, lemony ricotta and swirls of blackberry jam, creating a dessert that feels elegant without being heavy.

Using ghee in the crepe batter gives them a beautiful flavour and helps achieve those soft centres with lightly golden edges. It also makes cooking the crepes far more forgiving, with less sticking and better browning. Letting the batter rest is worth the wait, as it helps the crepes cook evenly and stay tender.

The filling is intentionally simple. Whipped ricotta with lemon zest adds freshness and lightness, while the blackberry jam brings sweetness and contrast. Once stacked, a short chill in the fridge allows the layers to settle, making the cake easy to slice and serve.

This is a lovely dessert for entertaining, brunch, or when you want something that looks impressive but does not require hours in the kitchen. Serve it as is, or dress it up with fresh berries if you feel like it. Either way, it is proof that simple ingredients, treated well, can create something quietly special.
