I love red velvet cake and I love crepes so now you can have both in one delicious dessert. The crepes can be prepared and refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for 2-3 months. Great to have around for the holidays or for anytime you just have to have crepes!

How To Make cherry red velvet crepe torte

  • 1
    Crepes In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, cocoa powder and sugar. In another bowl combine milk, food coloring, eggs and 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk to combine. Add wet ingredients into dry ingredient and whisk until smooth. Allow batter to set for 10 minutes.(Stir batter before you start cooking crepes) In a 10 inch skillet over medium heat, pour enough of remaining butter to lightly coat bottom of pan. Pour ¼ cup batter into pan and tilt skillet to evenly coat bottom. Cook for 10 to 15 seconds until bottom is lightly browned. (Edges will become browned and bubbles will appear) Then gently flip crepe to cook other side.Repeat with remaining batter, adding additional butter to skillet as needed.
