This cake is made from many crepes stacked on top of each other with a thin filling between each layer. Chef John was going for a lighter style, but says this technique really shines if you use a more traditional cake filling like buttercream. Once chilled, you'll get even more gorgeously defined layers.

Banana cream pie meets cheesecake in this luscious recipe. Be sure to plan ahead; while the cake doesn't take long to make, it bakes for 45 minutes, rests for an hour and then needs to cool to room temperature, and finally is refrigerated until chilled, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
