Pancake cake with chocolate

8 servings

45 minutes

Chocolate pancake cake is a delicate and exquisite treat that embodies the best traditions of Russian cuisine. Its roots lie in the love for pancakes, which have long been a symbol of hospitality and celebration. In this recipe, thin pancakes are soaked in an airy mascarpone and whipped cream mixture, while grated chocolate adds richness to the flavor. The combination of the light batter and velvety cream makes this dessert truly special. After cooling, it becomes denser, and its taste deepens even further. The pancake cake is perfect for family celebrations or cozy evenings with a cup of tea. It can be decorated with chocolate shavings or berries for fresh accents. Each slice is a balance of sweetness, tenderness, and chocolate harmony.
