Easy Cocoa Crepe Cake: Let me have some peaceful time ^^

Another no bake cake, that suitable for me at this moment ^^.

Crepe cake is a combination of  layers of crepe and layers whipping cream. You can make it without using the oven (anyway you need a pan to cook it, hehe). You can make it in different flavour, both by adding flavour to the crepe itself or in whipped cream. This time I make the cocoa whipped cream to accompany the crepe, and I make the chocolate ganache to make the chocolate flavour more intense. Remember that the cake needs at least 1-2 hours (or longer) to set or it will be hard to cut the cake into neat pieces. 
I think I don't have much to say, there are too many noise in my house today (plus dust and etc.), and I can't concentrate anymore -*-.  So right now, let me sit with my headphone on and enjoy this cake in my peaceful world, haha.

Take the jug out of the refrigerator.
Heat the 20cm pan, brush with butter. Pour the batter on a pan and immediately tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.)
