Equipment

Ingredients

Crêpes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter plus more for pan
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Lavender Frosting (Inner Layers)

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon culinary dried lavender
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Natural purple food coloring optional

White Frosting (Outer Layer)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Crêpes

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly butter.
  • Pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly.
  • Cook for 30–45 seconds per side, just until set (no browning).
  • Stack crêpes on a plate and cool completely.

Infuse the Lavender

  • Warm heavy cream gently in a small saucepan (do not boil).
  • Add dried lavender, cover, and steep for 10–15 minutes.
  • Strain and cool completely before using.

Make the Lavender Frosting

  • Beat butter until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar, then lavender-infused cream and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth and spreadable.
  • Tint lightly with purple food coloring if desired.

Assemble the Crêpe Cake

  • Place one crêpe on a serving plate.
  • Spread a thin layer of lavender frosting over the top.
  • Repeat with remaining crêpes and frosting.
  • Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.

Frost the Outside

  • Beat butter for the white frosting until fluffy.
  • Add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla.
  • Frost the outside of the cake with a thin, rustic layer.
  • Smooth gently or leave soft swirls for a farmhouse look.

Notes

Use culinary lavender only: a little goes a long way.
Keep frosting layers thin to maintain clean slices.
Chill between steps for easier assembly.
Garnish with dried lavender, fresh berries, or edible flowers if desired.
