The Prince asked him for the name of the recipe after eating it with relish. Henri dedicated the name of the recipe to the Princess and named it Crepes England Princesse.

    Expert Tips For Making The Mango Crepe Cake

    • Whisk the whipped cream until it is hardened. Crepes are very slippery in nature, so always use compacted whipped cream to spread it between the crepes to secure the crepes from slipping and sliding when you detach the cake.
    • You can use the mango puree or the pulp to pour it into every layer of the cake or on top of the cake.
    • Though Lemon juice is an optional ingredient here, it helps to react with the baking soda and results in soft crepes.
    • Always keep the batter aside for a minimum of 1 hour or overnight after covering it. It will give thin, soft crepes.
    • Before you are starting cooking, assemble all the important things near the oven. Like oil or butter and the silicone oil brush, ¼ measuring cup, the batter, a small piece of cloth, spatula and a non-stick frying pan etc.
    • Always heat the pan for at least 1 minute so that, the crepes will not stick to the pan.
    • If you are not eating the crepe cake immediately, keep it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
    • Always try to use the mango jam or the canned mango pulp or puree with the mango slices at the time of layering. It helps to improve the sweetness of the sliced mangoes as sometimes; the mangoes are sour based on the season.
    • You can use only mango jam or canned mango puree in case you do not have any mango at your home.
    • It is very important to keep your mango crepe cake in the fridge because if the cream melts, the crepe layers will slide on each other and can destroy the decoration and layering.
    • If you observe that your crepes browning too fast in the pan while cooking, immediately lower the flame. It will give you soft, tender, thin and light crepes.
