Simplified, tall fluffy pancake, stuffed with cheese

NO SEPARATION OF EGG WHITES AND YOLKS, NO WHIPPING THE WHITES AND FOLDING IT BACK IN, AND YEAH, NO MAYONNAISE EITHER. [ezcol_1fifth]  [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] If you use the internet, you've probably seen this.  This super lofty, tall and wiggling souffle pancake, said to have originated from Japan, that will surely tickle the feathers of anyone who has a soft sentimental spots for stacked fluffiness. I, for one, am not a pancake person.  Or at least, not in its traditional form.  But over the years, I've been patiently waiting for a game changer that would summon my inner fluff-craze that has been dormant inside my cold, pancake-less heart, and I thought, maybe, this is it. Well, not quite. Upon further investigation, I realized that the recipe for this pancake requires violating one of my many holy baking commandments - Thou shalt not ask for the separation of egg white and yolks, separate whippings, and folding them back in.  I am not thy bitch. - carved into a plastic chopping board and hung onto my fridge in permanence to remind me of the gods' wrath against disobedience.  So typically, if I see such thing, I just walk away.  But something, a small voice inside my head, an imploding

[ezcol_1fifth] [/ezcol_1fifth] [ezcol_3fifth] I KNOW IT DOESN'T LOOK MUCH. I PROBABLY WOULD'VE BYPASSED IT IF I WASN'T STUCK IN AMSTERDAM. BUT I'M GLAD I WAS. AND I KNOW YOU WILL, TOO I've been to Amsterdam. For a total of 18 hours. I don't know what people do during an overnight layover in a city they know nothing about, and I knew nearly nothing about Amsterdam. I've since learned that there is plenty to do in Amsterdam, and I deeply regret not knowing this sooner, for Amsterdam is considered the "weed capital" of Europe. If only I'd known that sooner. At least I can still go to Organic CBD Nugs online and get the CBD that I want from there. Next time I go to Amsterdam, however, I will definitely be going to a so-called "brown cafe". Additionally to brown cafes, pancakes seem to be a big thing. What did I know about "Amsterdam pancake", or as I later found out, pannenkoeken? Not much, really, aside from that it's starkly different from the verticality of normal stacked pancakes. I have since learned, however, that this is what pancakes are like in Europe, and normal pancakes are, in fact,

FAKE CHOCOLATE CAKE + REAL BANANA BUTTERCREAM

Last few days were a nightmarish montage of my extended kitchen-agony.  Three whole days covered in a choking dust of flour with smudgy grease from a beastly amount of butter and sugary stickiness haunting my finger tips.  Electrical outlets being pushed to a near brink of melt-down and an unprepared dishwasher running past its adrenaline threshold into a disoriented state of ecstasy.  After three nights of stress-induced binge eating, two stone-tough should muscle groups and one extremely cranked neck which all ended in a final coma that took place in a dark and questionable foot-massage parlor, despite nature's best effort to stop me, I said I'd make a cake. Well
