1

Prepare crepe batter by whisking together eggs, milk, flour, cocoa powder, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.

3

Pour a ladle of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

4

Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.

5

Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until set, then transfer to a plate.

6

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on the plate as you go.

7

In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then fold in sour cream and vanilla extract.

8

Layer a crepe on a serving platter, spread a thin layer of whipped cream mixture on top, and add a layer of cherries and strawberries.

9

Continue layering crepes, whipped cream mixture, and fruit until all ingredients are used, finishing with a crepe on top.

10

Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

11

Before serving, dust the top with grated dark chocolate.
