Many of you may have missed or will be missing the classic crepe cake recipe since being vegan. But no worries from now. We are going to make the simple and gorgeous vegan crepe cake today with the ingredients most kitchen will always have. If you don’t have the ingredients right there in the pantry, it is completely worth buying and stocking. Because this is cake is a treat in itself.
This vegan crepe cake is a small makeover of one of the most popular snacks from my childhood, the pancakes amma used to make.We used to call it as pancake rolls. Here we are making it as a crepe cake with egg-free, dairy-free crepes. The layer between the crepes are made with jaggery sweetened coconut and plantain. They are flavored with spices and lemon zest.
The no-bake vegan crepe cake can be made in 30 minutes. You can make this as a snack, breakfast or as dessert for special occasions. The cake contains almost no fat and refined sugar. The sweetener used is jaggery syrup (recipe here) made from solid jaggery, the unrefined and non-distilled sugar. The crepe batter need just 3 simple ingredients – flour, water and salt. So let’s start making the easy, no-bake vegan crepe cake – no egg, butter and milk. Make as many layers as you want and enjoy. Watch our video recipe to see how easily you can make it.

Hi ammu, your plantain pancake is very innovative. Instead of ripe plantain, v can use any riped banana?
Thank you Sambavi 🙂 I never tried it with banana. But you can make it without plantain and banana as well. Just coconut, jaggery and other spices also make a great filling.
