cake a pancake cake any time you make pancake batter you're already on the way to making an actual cake you might as well spend the extra time uh okay you know what in this scenario i get it a few hours of processing i get that okay but it's special we're making this special for you do i expect everyone to make it no but if you want a cake that you've never had in your entire life that is sure to tantalize your taste buds you got the pancake cake but then we have peanut butter frosting salted maple caramel frosting candied bacon crumble all topped up with a nice drench of maple so with that being said let's make this shall we wow a pancake layer cake for the millions the elements are well pancake salted maple caramel frosting peanut butter frosting and a millionaire's baking crumble to represent the millions of you first let's talk about peanut butter frosting very easy to a medium sized bowl add one cup or 220 grams of softened unsalted butter and three quarters of a cup or 170 grams of creamy peanut butter using electric mixers or a whisk if you're brave beat those together until creamy and combined insert mixing in 3 cups or 350 grams of powdered sugar just a little bit at a time until all that's been added and it's fully incorporated then add half a teaspoon or three grams of fine sea salt beat that in then half a teaspoon or two grams of vanilla extract and lastly two tablespoons or 30 grams of whole milk beat that in and it should look something like this now pop that into a piping bag and onto frosting number two salted maple caramel in a medium sauce pot add half a cup or 112 grams of salted butter a quarter cup of 55 grams of granulated sugar half a cup 143 grams of maple syrup 2 tablespoons or 15 grams of light corn syrup and set that over medium heat and let that cook together and once it starts to simmer reduce the heat to low give it a little swirl here and there to emulsify you never do set for three to four minutes then pour your ultra light caramel into a medium sized bowl and let it cool to room temp i would recommend covering it with something to prevent a film forming once cooled begin mixing with electric beaters or a whisk then beat in three cups or 350 grams of powdered sugar again in batches add a half teaspoon or two grams of fine sea salt which i forgot to add to the caramel totally fine that's the new recipe now once it starts getting a bit too thick add in 2 tablespoons or 30 grams of heavy cream beat on high until smooth creamy and luxurious next candied bacon peanut crumble if you have a peanut allergy i'm sorry simply do not use peanuts in a small bowl combine half a cup 110 grams of light brown sugar and half a teaspoon or two grams of fine ground black pepper mix together till combined then add one pound or 454 grams of your nicest bacon onto a foil lined baking sheet and generously season your bacon with your brown sugar mix on just one side then pop that into an oven preheated to 350 fahrenheit and bake for around 20 minutes let it cool completely and then rough chop your bacon with a knife get yourself a food processor add half a cup or 75 grams of toasted peanuts let that on high till medium coarse then add your chopped bacon oh josh why did i chop my bacon we pre-chop our bacon to make it easier to blend here relax button on high until everything is relatively similar in size and a beautiful medium course like this next pancakes so i'm essentially going to make a basic pancake batter but a little more up in a stand mixer or a large bowl oh so tired of these recipe elitist using a stand mixer so unattainable literally just don't use a stand mixer bowl and a whisk just fine anyway add six cups or 900 grams of all-purpose flour put on that big old ball whisk thing then add three quarters of a cup or 150 grams of granulated sugar 3 tablespoons or 26 grams of baking powder 2 teaspoons or 12 grams of fine sea salt 3 4 of a teaspoon or 8 grams of baking soda begin whisking that on medium low till combined then mix in 4 cups or 1 liter of whole milk three whole eggs and three quarters of a cup or 170 grams of gently melted butter mixed it until nice and smooth and homogeneous now look giant cake situation goes a few ways you can either double this recipe and split it between two sheet trays that have been generously greased and lined with parchment paper or you could do a one times batch and use the scrap as the bottom layer of the cake which we found coincidentally on another pancake cake from christina tosi at milk bar shout out to her thank you for the inspiration look it all depends on how perfect you want your cake to look i wanted mine to look super perfect so i doubled it but you should expect a decent amount of scrap which i'll explain what to do with later now once you have your cake laid down in your baking sheet you can optionally add and scatter around evenly the little maple candy balls for my mcdonald's mcgriddle recipe link in the description for that then just pop those cakes into the oven at 350 fahrenheit and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean remove those from the oven then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely once room temp use a cake ring that's been set to about seven to eight inches punch out your cakes punching out three to four if you doubled it and okay you got scrap wham keep it bag it freeze it use it immediately you can make cake balls there are plenty of things to do with cake scrap google it alright we're finally ready to assemble to your kick ring which should still be the same size when you punched out your cakes add a nice little cake collar to fit the ring make a quick simple syrup of a quarter cup or 55 grams of granulated sugar and a quarter cup or 60 milliliters of water heated and dissolved now assembly time add in your first cake layer brush generously with simple syrup then a fat layer of your peanut butter frosting which you'll likely use all of it half of your baking crumble evenly spread across the surface then another layer of cake brush with simple syrup yet again followed by another generous layer of this time your maple caramel frosting the other half of your bacon crumble evenly spread and finally your top layer pancake lightly tent that with plastic wrap and pop her in the fridge for a little slumber overnight to solidify then when you're ready pull it out let it temper at room temperature for about 10 minutes grab your sharpest knife cut it into slices place a pat of lightly melting butter on top if desired and hit it with maple syrup so that we can taste test and see if this even tastes like a pancake in the first goddang place it's 420 big pancake if this isn't a pancake layer cake then i don't know what is now i want you to syrup this i really do because it wouldn't really be a big pancake without syrup and i intentionally did not over sweeten the cake so that you could add syrup so you should this was completely accidental that this ended up on 420. i feel like i'm getting high eating this it has all the flavors you would have in a pancake breakfast you got the salty bacon the sweet maple and if you like peanut butter on your pancakes you can be my friend and i also do you got that peanut butter frosting the maple frosting all works together somehow this is like my childhood favorite way to eat pancakes solidified into the perfect actual cake right they call them pancakes this is a pancake cake but i'll tell you another thing that has all your breakfast dreams in it b-roll [Music]
