Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1.5 pounds mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, portobello), finely chopped

  • Season mushroom mix with salt, pepper, and thyme; stir in cream cheese and cheddar until melted, then set aside.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, grease lightly with butter, and pour in about 1/3 cup of batter to form pancake layers; flip when edges lift.
  • Repeat until all batter is used; you should have 10-12 layers.

  • Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Feel free to mix different mushroom varieties for more complex flavors. You can make the components a day ahead to save time. Consider using a springform pan for cleaner edges and presentation. Leftovers taste better the next day; keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve warm with a side salad for a complete meal.
