  • About

Forget two- or three-layer cakes—how about a twenty-layer cake? Sometimes called a mille crêpe cake, or “cake of a thousand layers,” this gorgeous no-bake confection stacks thin, lacy crepes and a creamy bananas Foster pudding. It’s topped with even more caramelized banana goodness to create a truly impressive dessert.

Ingredients

For Filling

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • cup plus 3 tablespoons

Method

  1. For the filling, melt butter with 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar and cinnamon in a skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, stir in banana slices. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until bananas are softened and beginning to brown. Stir in rum and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Let cool to lukewarm; mash with a fork or potato masher.
