This easy pancakes with poppy seed cake filled with lemon homemade curd and mascarpone, it is one of the favorite cakes for my son. Well my son really like pancakes, so no more, they are passionate. But when you do them one on top of another, then not touching my palms.

The only thing that must be taken with this recipe is patience, because you have to make many crepes to form this cake so high. The crepes should be finite, and all equal, so I use a fixed measure: 1/4 cup that has 60 ml capacity. If you don't have measuring cups, you can use a ladle of sauce, or in a glass where you marcaréis with a Sharpie or a piece of tape, the appropriate level.

My pan is 22 cm and in it I make pancakes so that they are of this size. You can make them larger or smaller, but then the amount of mass necesariapara each crepe will be different.

This easy pancakes with poppy seed cake filled with lemon homemade curd and mascarpone is entertaining, no te voy a fool, but it is not difficult. It's trick is to distribute the work.

The dough of crepes can be made the day before in the morning. It does not take anything but if it rests the crepes come out much better (I let it rest all night in the fridge, but with a couple of hours it is also worth it). Poppy seeds give a very original crunchy touch to crepes. This recipe is from a beautiful book that my son has given me for Mother's Day and that is called Love, Manuela. I have always made them with my mother's recipe but for this cake I tried this recipe and I liked it very much.

The day before riding easy pancakes with poppy seed cake filled with lemon curd home and mascarpone, also can make the cream of lemon or lemon curd, which also needs to be completely cool to build the cake. You can do it in the Thermomix if you have (18 minutes at 80 degrees speed 2). Can use it this cream other desserts (one of my favorites in summer: lemon cream in a glass and over Greek yogurt.) A success),

So we left for the next day the mascarpone cream that is made in 2 minutes, and the mounting of the cake. With these quantities, you'll have to about 40 pancakes. The cake takes about 30, but in my house, it is impossible to make the amount I need because they come into the kitchen and catch one here, another there and at the end I'm short, so I do the entire amount and if there are too many good amount other smaller cake. I freeze them wrapped in baking paper and ready to warm up the weekend for breakfast. Now go for our easy cake pancakes with poppy seed lemon homemade curd and mascarpone-filled.
