Description

Indulgent cake mix waffles offer a delightful breakfast twist that turns ordinary mornings into sweet celebrations. Crispy edges and fluffy centers create a perfect balance, inviting you to savor each golden, syrup-drenched bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) vanilla or chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces) water

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup (80 milliliters / 2.7 fluid ounces) vegetable oil

Cooking/Greasing Ingredients:

  • Cooking spray or butter, for greasing

Instructions

  1. Warm up the waffle iron to the recommended temperature specified by the manufacturer.
  2. Blend cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly until the batter achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
  3. Apply a thin layer of cooking spray or butter to the waffle iron’s surface to prevent sticking.
  4. Distribute the batter evenly across the preheated waffle iron, filling it according to the appliance’s size and design.
  5. Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle develops a crisp, golden-brown exterior.
  6. Carefully remove the waffle from the iron using a heat-resistant utensil.
  7. Plate the freshly cooked waffle and embellish with your preferred toppings, such as syrup, fruits, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Swap water with milk for richer, more tender waffles with deeper flavor complexity.
  • Experiment with different cake mix flavors like chocolate, funfetti, or red velvet to create unique waffle variations.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help achieve a fluffier, more consistent texture and prevent sticking.
  • Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts directly into batter for extra crunch and personalized touch.
