How to cook it perfectly:
Waffles can be a hard thing for some people to cook, because they are either over cooking them, or undercooking them. It can be a fine line.
However, here are some trick to make the perfect cooked waffle:
- A lot of it can depend on your waffle maker. If you are using an old rusted waffle maker, it may be difficult to get them out clean. We recommend a clean waffle maker, sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- One of the biggest mistakes you could make is to check the waffle partway through, to see if it is done. Doing this will totally ruin the heat ratio. It’s just like when you open the lid of a slow cooker when it’s cooking. Don’t do it. It will totally mess with the temperature and the food.
- Most waffle irons now days, have a built in timer, and a light will pop on when the waffle is done. However, if your doesn’t have the light. You can always check the steam of the waffle. Once you no longer see any steam rising from the waffle, you know that the waffle is done cooking, and that’s when it is complete.
- Remember the first waffle is always the practice waffle. Don’t feel bad if the first one is a fail. If it is soggy, add a little more dry. If it’s dry, we recommend adding a splash of buttermilk.

Chocolate Strawberry Waffle Cake Recipe
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix
- 1 ¼ cups water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
Filling
- 1 ½ cups diced strawberries, for cream filling
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 4 Tablespoons instant vanilla pudding
- 4 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Frosting
- 3 Tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa
- 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- 1.55 ounce Hershey chocolate bar, grated for topping
- 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries , for top of cake
Equipment
Instructions
- Mix the cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil and water as directed on the cake mix box. Heat your waffle iron and lightly spray with non stick cooking spray. I used a Belgian Waffle maker. Use 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle. They don't take long to cook. Remove and let cool. This will make 6 full waffles when you use 1/2 cup batter for each waffle.
- While the waffles are cooling, mix together the whipping cream, pudding mix and powdered sugar and beat until thick. Then add 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries. Divide the whipping cream mixture into two separate bowls.
- Put a waffle on a plate. Use one bowl of whipped topping mixture for each cake. With one of the bowls top the waffle with 1/3 of the whipping cream, then place another waffle on top, then add whipping cream, add another waffle, then top with the last of the whipping cream.
- Make the frosting by mixing together butter, vanilla, cocoa, powdered sugar and milk. Beat until well blended. If too runny, add a little more powdered sugar. Or if too thick and a little milk until you get to desired consistency.
- Carefully spread the frosting over both cakes. Decorate with sliced strawberries and then sprinkle with grated chocolate curls.

This waffle cake looks delectable! So impressive looking, but so easy to make! Definitely perfect for any party. Thanks for sharing!
This looks great. I just tried making the cake in the waffle iron and it’s all a pile of cake crumbs. I couldn’t get it to cook into a solid waffle. The second I tried to lift it out it crumbled. Any tips on how to prevent this?
Thank you so much for sharing.
It’s got to be your waffle iron. I used a betty crocker cake mix. Made it according to the package. Heated up my Belgian waffle maker and lightly sprayed it with pam. It literally lifted out of the waffle iron with no problems. Did you cook it all the way through?
