Step 1

Mix the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl in the order that they are listed (water, milk, eggs, butter, flour, sugar).

Step 2

Divide the batter into 3 bowls.

Step 3

Add about 5 drops of food coloring into one bowl and 10 drops of food coloring into another bowl. You should have 3 different colored batters now.

Step 4

Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Rub butter on the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Pour batter from the bowl into the pan until the batter completely covers the bottom of the pan. Swirl the pan so that the batter evenly covers the surface.

Step 6

Cook for about 30 seconds on each side or until both sides are golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the batter runs out. You should have around 20 crepes at the end.

Step 8

Refrigerate the crepes for about 30 minutes so that the Nutella won't melt between the crepes. I divided my stack of crepes into 2 plates to cool the crepes faster.

Step 9

Spread Nutella in between each layer of crepe and stack the crepes, forming the layers.

Step 10

Refrigerate the crepe cake again so that the Nutella firms up and the cake is easier to cut.

Step 11

Add strawberries to the top for decoration and enjoy!

I personally like eating this cake warm by putting it in the microwave for about 30 seconds and then adding a scoop of ice cream.
