Ingredients

Scale

Cake Mix

  • 1 box cake mix (such as red velvet, devils food, strawberry, chocolate)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Cooking/Optional Ingredients

  • Cooking spray or butter
  • Powdered sugar (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk cake mix ingredients together following package directions, creating a smooth, lump-free batter.
  2. Heat waffle iron to medium-high temperature, lightly coating griddle surfaces with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Carefully ladle prepared cake batter into preheated waffle maker, ensuring even distribution across cooking surface.
  4. Close waffle iron and cook approximately 3-4 minutes until edges appear crisp and golden brown, avoiding overcrowding or overfilling.
  5. Gently remove waffles using a heat-resistant spatula, allowing them to rest briefly on a cooling rack to maintain crispness.
  6. Enhance presentation by artfully arranging toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, toasted almonds, or vibrant sprinkles.
  7. Drizzle with complementary sauces such as warm caramel, rich chocolate ganache, or fruity compote for added indulgence.
  8. Serve immediately while waffles maintain optimal temperature and textural crunch, creating a delightful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet to create unique waffle experiences.
  • Grease the waffle iron thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of delicate cake waffles.
  • Add extra moisture by mixing in a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the cake batter for softer, more tender waffles.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cake mix and ensure your waffle maker is clean and free from gluten contamination.
