Waffle Cake Recipes

EASIEST WAFFLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly spray 3 round 8 inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
• Using your favorite yellow cake mix prepare as directions state and pour equal amounts into prepared cake rounds. Place one frozen waffle on top of batter and gently press down. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from center of cake.
• Allow to cool briefly, remove from pans and top the first layer with butter and maple syrup. Repeat butter and maple syrup layers as you stack the cakes on top of each other. Serve and enjoy.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY WAFFLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle maker that makes round waffles on medium. Prepare the boxed cake mix according to the package directions.
• Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the center of the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until the cake is lightly browned and springs back when you touch it, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the cake from the waffle maker using a fork and set aside on a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter; you should have 8 waffled cakes total. Let them all cool completely.
• Pulse the raspberries with the confectioners' sugar in a food processor until it looks like dust. Add the mascarpone, vanilla and 1 cup cream and pulse until thick and creamy.
• Put the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles form and it just begins to simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
• Put 1 waffled cake on a cake stand or plate. Use an offset spatula to evenly spread a 1/4 cup of the raspberry-cream mixture over the cake, pushing most of it to the edge of the cake, leaving a small well in the middle. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chocolate ganache into the well and top with another waffled cake. Repeat with remaining waffled cakes, raspberry cream and ganache, finishing with some raspberry cream on top. Decorate the top with the fresh raspberries and drizzle with the remaining ganache (microwave the ganache for a few seconds and stir if it needs to be loosened). If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Toast 3 frozen waffles until crisp. Stack the waffles with some chocolate-hazelnut spread and sliced strawberries between each layer. Top with more strawberries and dust with cocoa powder.

EASY VANILLA WAFFLE CAKE

Steps:

• Make the ganache: bring 1 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once simmering, stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Transfer to refrigerator to cool until it reaches a spoon-able consistency, about 1 hour. Once cooled, use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it reaches soft peaks. Ganache will stiffen when returned to the refrigerator.
• Make the waffle batter: Use a hand mixer to beat together butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add in buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add in flour and baking powder and mix on a low speed until just combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything gets mixed in.
• Preheat a Belgian Waffle Maker. Scoop a heaping 2/3 cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook waffles one at a time. Transfer cooked waffles to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Assemble cake: layer the cake with at least 4 waffles, frosted with whipped ganache between each layer. Garnish with fresh berries.
