For the crepes:

- Heat a 9-inch pan on medium heat and set up a station put your finished crepes next to your pan
- Using a pastry brush paint the pan with the melted butter and pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Using your wrist, rotate the pan at an angle so that the batter forms a circle
- Cook for 2 minutes and then flip the crepe and cook for 30 seconds more
- Place the crepe on a plate cover with wax paper and repeat until you have gone through all the batter
- Once you have made all your crepes set them in the refrigerator to cool.
For the strawberry whipped cream
- Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a stand mixer and mix in high until stiff peaks form.
- Mix in the strawberry jam until combined.
For the assembly
- Once your crepes are cool, start layering by spreading about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream between each crepe. They will slide around a bit so be gentle. Once you have completed your layers, let your finished cake set in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until its firm and doesn't wobble.
