Waffle Cake Recipe

 

Cake batter is the flavor of these fun waffles, which are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For a waffle cake that is a treat at any time, but particularly on the morning of a child's birthday, stack and frost them. Waffle cake is a great option whether you want to eat a cake that looks like breakfast or breakfast that tastes like dessert.

This breakfast-dessert combination consists of rich cream cheese frosting and crisp, fluffy waffles flecked with rainbow sprinkles. You can either dollop frosting on each waffle for a portable dessert or stack them together to create a waffle version of a layer cake. It's ideal for a celebratory breakfast on a birthday.

The finest aspect?

To make this waffle cake in any flavor combination you can imagine, you can replace the confetti cake mix with any other kind of cake mix.

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Yield: 6 waffles

Ingredients to Make this Waffle Cake

• One cup of all-purpose flour
• One cup, or roughly five ounces Confetti cake mix or preferred flavor
• Two tablespoons of cornstarch
• Three tsp baking powder
• Two tablespoons of optional rainbow sprinkles and 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Two large eggs at room temperature
• 1–3/4 cups 2% milk
• Greek yogurt, plain, 3/4 to 1 cup
• Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Half a teaspoon of almond extract

 

Cream cheese frosting:

• Four ounces of reduced-fat or softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• One and a half to two cups of confectioners' sugar
• Half a teaspoon of vanilla extract
• One to three tablespoons 2% milk

 

Directions to Make this Waffle Cake

• Turn the oven on to 300°. Mix the first five ingredients together and add rainbow sprinkles if you'd like. Whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt, and extracts in a separate bowl. Mix the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture until it becomes smooth.
• Spray cooking spray on the waffle maker and preheat it. Waffles should be baked as directed by the manufacturer until golden brown. Before serving, move the cooked waffles to the oven.
• Beat butter and cream cheese on high for two to three minutes, or until light and fluffy, to make the frosting. Add 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar at a time and beat until smooth. Add vanilla and beat. To get the desired consistency, add enough milk. Over warm waffles, spread. Cut waffles into fourths and stack them to create a cake-like appearance; add birthday candles for decoration.

 

Waffle Cake Variations

Reduce them to a mini: To make individual, miniature waffle cakes, cook the batter in a mini waffle maker.

Use a different cake mix: For a different taste, swap out the confetti cake for a different type of cake mix. It would be especially delicious to use a lemon cake mix, strawberry cake mix, or spice cake mix in place of the waffle cake mix.

 

Make a chocolate version: To make a chocolate on chocolate waffle cake, replace the rainbow sprinkles with chocolate ones and the confetti cake mix with chocolate ones.
