My daughter is at the age where she wants to have a sleepover almost every weekend.  There’s lots of pizza eating, nail painting, popcorn popping, movie watching and very late night giggling with very little sleeping going on but it’s always so worth it. I love that memories are being made and one of the things her and her friends will remember is mom lets them have cake for breakfast. 😀

I quickly learned after many mornings of sleepovers with very little sleeping going on that the next morning is brutal, and instead of trying to be a short order cook on a few hours of rest, that it was easier just to prepare something the night before and pop it into the oven the next morning. But the beautiful thing about this pancake cake is that not only is it awesome for sleepovers, it’s really awesome for any morning! Holidays, birthdays, or just because… This breakfast or brunch recipe is a really easy and delicious go to recipe that I know you will just adore. Here’s what you’ll need to make it…

1. Defrost your pancakes and cut them in half
2. Spray your baking dish with cooking spray and arrange your half pancakes in a shingle pattern so they’re overlapping slightly
3. In a bowl mix up your eggs, cream, sugar and spices until well blended
4. Pour the mixture over the pancakes, cover and refrigerate for an hour- up to overnight
5. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 325 and cook the pancake cake for 30-40 minutes.

Serve this hot-warm with fresh fruit and it will be the perfect every time.
