Enjoy cake in minutes with this easy recipe for Cake Mix Waffles. This recipe is super easy and will satisfy your sweet tooth!
Okay, so this may not qualify as a recipe, but this qualifies as an amazing life discovery, newfound obsession, etc. Can you tell I am excited about this? If not, let me tell you, I AM!!
About two weeks ago, my mom sent me a pin from Pinterest. It was cake mix waffles. I saw the process and thought, “hmmmm……a crispy cake waffle”. I was not too impressed since I like the moist and fluffy cakes, and figured, no way could my waffle iron produce that.
Fast forward one week, I was grocery shopping and saw cake mix on sale for $0.89. How do I pass that up, right?
I grabbed a few boxes of the Devil’s food cake and figured; I could find something to make. That evening, I was craving a sweet, but had about 0% interest in making something. I decided to try out these cake mix waffles.
Cake Mix Waffles are light and fluffy and can be made with whatever flavor cake mix your heart desires!
My husband and I whipped the batter up in about 3 minutes and then poured some into our waffle iron. Let me tell you, when we saw the “waffle” rise up, I began to get excited. Could it actually be fluffy and cake-like? YES, it most definitely was.
We served ours with a scoop of our chocolate peanut butter ice-cream and it was amazing!! The “cakeffle” (our new term for these) was fluffy, moist, and tasted just like a mini cake.
It was done in about 2 minutes and we were amazed! We saved the batter and made them again the next night!!
You must try these, I think you too will fall in love. You could try any boxed cake. I think that spice cake would taste quite yummy with the Fall weather!!
Ingredients Needed for Cake Mix Waffles:
1 box cake mix (plus ingredients to make mix)
How to prepare:
Prepare cake mix as directed on the box.
I used chocolate cake mix, however, funfetti, vanilla, spice cake, lemon, etc. would work great! Perhaps funfetti for a fun birthday treat!
Preheat your waffle iron and pour cake batter into iron as you would a waffle.
Be careful not to overfill the waffle maker as the cake batter does expand and will be messy if overfilled!
Cook about 3 minutes, or until done.
Not too long before you are enjoying that tasty sweet treat!
Remove from waffle iron and serve.
Perhaps with a scoop of ice-cream, whipped cream, fruit, and/or sprinkles.
