Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Provides a light texture to the pancakes for easy stacking.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder Helps the pancakes rise, ensuring they are fluffy and tender.
  • 1 cup Milk Use any milk of your choice; it hydrates the batter and affects the texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Add structure and moisture, making the pancakes rich and sturdy.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar A touch of sweetness balances the flavors beautifully.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances the sweetness of the cake for a more rounded flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Peanut butter Adds a creamy, nutty flavor; almond or cashew butter can be used for a change.
  • 1 cup Chocolate spread Delivers that rich chocolate flavor; feel free to switch it with hazelnut spread for fun!
For Garnishing (optional)
  • 1 cup Chantilly cream Offers a light and airy finish that pairs wonderfully with the pancake layers.
  • 1 cup Fresh berries Add a burst of flavor and color for an eye-catching presentation.
  • 1/4 cup Chocolate sauce Drizzle for an extra treat that enhances the chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing it with butter or oil. Pour about a quarter cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to form a thin layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges start to lift and bubbles form, then flip it over and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes.
  3. Once all pancakes are cooked, place the first pancake on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of peanut butter, followed by a layer of chocolate spread. Continue stacking pancakes, alternating between the spreads, until all pancakes are layered.
  4. Optionally, top your layered cake with a dollop of chantilly cream and a sprinkle of fresh berries. A drizzle of extra chocolate sauce can add a lovely finishing touch. Cut the cake into wedges or slices to serve.
  5. If you have leftovers, store the Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pancake Cake covered at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat individual slices in the microwave for a soft texture or serve cold.
