Chocolate Crepe Roll #ImprovCookingChallenge

Layers of decadent chocolate crepes and creamy Mascarpone cheese rolled into a cake and served with some whipped cream and a strawberry garnish.  This cake is amazing......

It's time for the Improv Cooking Challenge......

Nichole of Cookaholic Wife invites us each month to join her in making a recipe that contains two ingredients.  This month those ingredients were chocolate and crepes.

Let's see what everyone brought into the challenge today.......

• Sneha Datar: Nutella Filled Crepes 
• Radha Rajagopalan: Chocolate Crepe Cone Dessert 
• Wendy Klik: Chocolate Crepe Cake Roll

I had made a Crepe Cake for breakfast several years ago and it was a huge hit.  I knew I wanted to make another Crepe Cake for this event but wanted something different than just adding chocolate frosting to the cake I had already shared.

So I googled Crepe Cakes and found several for the same recipe from fellow blogger, Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.  It appears, from what I can tell, that Christie won a contest for this recipe over at Swiss Diamond Bakeware.  

Once you make and try this recipe, you will understand why Christie won.  It is absolutely scrumptious and impressive when plated to serve.

I used about 30 crepes for this recipe, three overlapping stacks of 10.  The batter made more crepes than needed so we got the added bonus of chocolate crepes for breakfast that morning.
