Don't worry if a few crêpes aren't perfectly round; just layer the less attractive ones in the centre of the cake and no one will be the wiser. A bar zester makes perfect, delicate strips of rind and comes in handy when preparing the orange zest topping.
This cake tastes every bit as fantastic as it looks! While the crêpes require a little extra effort, the whole dessert comes together faster than a traditional layer cake. To save time, prep the crêpes up to a month ahead and freeze.
This velvety custard is fantastic drizzled on pudding, apple crisp, bread pudding, crepes, fruit or sponge cake.

In spite of my dad's overwhelming affinity for all things healthy, he's got a fantastic sweet tooth, curbed only by hunks of chocolate cake and my late grandmother's Hungarian skinny pancakes, or palacsinta. He would hover near the stove as she turned out stacks of these airy, milky, thinner-than-crêpes treats, sneaking every other one to slather with jam (plum or cherry) and stuff in his mouth. Sprinkle these with cinnamon sugar and roll them up, or spread them with jam. They can also be enjoyed along with savoury soups or stews, such as paprikash or goulash, to scoop up the juices. – Rheanna Kish
