"What better way to enjoy a breakfast crepe than in cake form? Stack individual crepes into a delicious cake recipe. This crepe cake recipe is a simple dessert idea for the whole family. Some people are still confused about the difference between pancake batter and crepe batter. Pancake batter uses a leavening agent like baking powder or baking soda, which causes the batter to rise into a soft pancake. While, crêpe batter is made without any leavening agents, which is why the mixture cooks into a thin yet tenderly soft flatbread. Also, crepe batter has a thin consistency compared to pancake batter."
