    Enjoy cake in minutes with this easy recipe for Cake Mix Waffles. This recipe is super easy and will satisfy your sweet tooth!

    fluffy waffles using cake mix to enjoy as a dessert or breakfast treat

    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.
