Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
- 2 tbsps cocoa powder (10 g)
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (240 ml)
- 2 tbsps red food coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cream cheese frosting (for topping)
Instructions
- Sift dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar – into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring thorough blending of components.
- Whisk together wet ingredients – buttermilk, eggs, vibrant crimson food coloring, and aromatic vanilla extract – until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Merge wet and dry mixtures, gently folding until just incorporated, avoiding overmixing to maintain waffle tenderness.
- Activate waffle iron and apply a delicate coating of culinary lubricant to prevent sticking.
- Ladle batter onto preheated surface, allowing it to spread across approximately three-quarters of the cooking platform.
- Allow waffles to transform into a crisp, mahogany-hued delicacy, monitoring until steam dissipates (roughly 4-5 minutes at medium-high temperature).
- Extract waffle with precision using a heat-resistant utensil, ensuring structural integrity.
- Embellish with velvety cream cheese frosting and garnish with freshly sliced, ruby-red strawberries for a luxurious presentation.
Notes
- Check waffle batter consistency by ensuring it’s smooth and lump-free, preventing uneven cooking and texture.
- Experiment with natural food coloring alternatives like beetroot powder for a healthier red hue without artificial additives.
- Allow waffle batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to help flour absorb liquid and create a more tender result.
- Use room temperature ingredients to promote better mixing and achieve a more uniform waffle batter texture.
