Ingredients
Scale
Waffle Batter
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings (Optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Syrup
- Whipped cream
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it reaches the ideal cooking temperature for crisp and evenly cooked waffles.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using) until the batter is smooth and without lumps.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour the batter onto the waffle iron, using the amount recommended by your waffle iron’s size. Close the lid and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and add your preferred toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use any flavor of cake mix to customize the waffles to your liking.
- Ensure the waffle iron is properly preheated to prevent sticking and achieve crispy edges.
- Adjust water quantity slightly if the batter is too thick or thin for your waffle iron.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
- Optional vanilla extract adds extra flavor but can be omitted.
