Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Whisk together milk2, 1 egg, flour, a pinch of salt, and 5 g sugar until smooth.

  2. Cook thin pancakes in a lightly oiled skillet for 1 minute per side until just golden, then cool completely.

  3. Whip sour4 cream with a spoon until smooth, mixing in the remaining sugar and vanilla sugar.

  4. Gently warm the berries in a pan for 3–4 minutes until softened, then cool to drain excess moisture.

  5. Layer the pancakes, spreading sour4 cream between each and adding a thin layer of berries.

  6. Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 2 hours until the layers soak up the cream and set.

Tips

Why it works
Cool the pancakes completely so the cream doesn't spread and the cake doesn't get soggy. If they are hot, the sour cream will run between the layers.
Substitutions
Use fresh berries instead of frozen, but halve the amount, since they release more juice. Instead of vanilla sugar, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract or lemon zest.
Common mistakes
If the cake doesn't slice neatly, the pancakes haven't cooled fully or the cream is too runny. Check it: if the cut shows wet layers, let the pancakes cool longer or whip the sour cream thicker.
Storing and reheating
Keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Slice and serve at room temperature. Don't freeze, the pancakes will turn soft.
Serve with
Serve with tea at a festive lunch or as a dessert after a light dinner with a fresh vegetable salad.
