What a fun summer dessert the whole family can make! This cake is made from stacked thin pancakes also known as crepes and smothered with whipped cream and raspberry jam. It’s a no-bake cake that’s so simple to make yet it’s delicious and a wonderful spin on regular cake. If you don’t have raspberries on hand, you can always use strawberries and strawberry jam. Love chocolate? Sneak a few Nutella smothered pancake layers inside!
