Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and gradually whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes on a plate as you go.

  6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

  7. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate and butter to the cream. Let it sit for a minute to allow the chocolate to melt.

  8. Stir the mixture until smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool slightly.

  9. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth.

  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until well incorporated.

  11. Mix in the vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

  12. Place one pancake on a serving plate and spread a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and ganache, creating layers as you go.

  13. Once you've stacked all the pancakes, use a spatula to spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the torte.

  14. For a decorative touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings or colorful sprinkles on top of the frosting.
