Create a stunning Pomegranate Vanilla Crepe Cake this holiday season with this simple but delicious recipe! Twenty layers filled with yummy frosting!
The holidays are my absolute favorite time of year. I adore spending time with my family and friends while enjoying a meal together or having a small gift exchange. For the last 14 years, we have hosted an annual holiday party in our home where all of our friends gather to catch up and enjoy delicious food and drinks!
It is hands down my favorite event of the year and I love making all the food for the party. This year, the star of the show is definitely going to be a Pomegranate Vanilla Crepe Cake.
Now, you might be thinking that a crepe cake sounds overly complicated and difficult given how stunning it looks. But, you know I don’t do overly complicated OR difficult when it comes to baking. It is just not my style.
This crepe cake recipe is really simple to make and features the most amazing vanilla frosting between each layer of the cake. The two most important things you will need to make it are Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening and a good offset spatula.
I used the Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening Baking Sticks because they are easy to use and they come packaged in a no mess, measurable wrapper to help you get the fluffiest frosting easily.
This cake is totally amazing. The frosting has just the right amount of sweetness and vanilla and it is so easy to make. The pomegranate seeds and mint add the perfect hint of red and green for the holidays too making this the perfect holiday dessert!
I definitely see this Pomegranate Vanilla Crepe Cake becoming a yearly tradition right along with our annual holiday party!

Essential items for this recipe:
- Small saucepan
- Blender
- Stand mixer
- Crepe pan
- Mixing bowls
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Flour
- 3 tbsp Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2/3 cup Milk +2 tbsp
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2/3 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 6.5 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds
- 1 cup Pomegranate Juice
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Chopped Mint
-
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup pomegranate juice and 1 cup sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat and then reduce to a simmer.
-
Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. This will thicken as it cools.
-
Combine 4 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups milk, 1 cup water, 2 cups flour, melted Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a blender.
-
Pulse for 20-30 seconds until completely blended. Pour mixture into a bowl and cover. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
While batter refrigerates, make the icing. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2/3 cup milk and 1 tsp salt. Mix on low for 15-20 seconds. Add in 2/3 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening and 2 tsp vanilla extract.
-
Mix on low and slowly add in powdered sugar. Once all powdered sugar is mixed in, turn mixer to high and beat for 1 minute. Return mixer to low speed and add in 2 Tbsp milk to thin frosting. {Note: the frosting will be thinner that usual to spread easily on the crepes.}
-
To make the crepes, heat a crepe pan or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Spray pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Add about 2 Tbsp batter to the pan and swirl so that it coats the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, flip and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds. Remove the crepe and cool. Repeat with remaining batter to yield approximately 20 crepes.
-
Layer the cooled crepes with a very thin spread of frosting in between each crepe layer. Frost the top layer and then add pomegranate seeds, mint and drizzle with cooled pomegranate syrup. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
