How To Waffle the Devil…’s Food Cake:
Who says cake has to be baked? Let’s take your dessert game to the next level with these fun and fabulous cake waffles! Start by preparing the batter according to the box instructions—mixing cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl and beating it on medium speed for two minutes until it’s smooth and ready to go.
Next, grab your waffle maker and give both the top and bottom plates a generous spritz of nonstick spray (trust us, this step is crucial). Spoon just enough cake batter to cover the bottom tray, close the lid, and let the magic happen. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes—ours turned out golden and perfect at 5, but keep in mind that waffle makers can vary, so adjust as needed.
When it’s done, flip the waffle maker upside down onto a plate for easy, mess-free removal. Now, it’s time for the best part—toppings! Pile on your favorite ice cream, a fluffy dollop of whipped cream, and all the sprinkles, sauces, or candies your heart desires. Dig in and enjoy your sweet masterpiece!
