Description

Delight in these fun and festive Birthday Cake Waffles made from a moist Funfetti cake mix batter. Ready in under 30 minutes, these waffles are perfect for special occasions or a whimsical weekend breakfast, topped with homemade whipped cream, sprinkles, and your choice of chocolate or caramel sauce for a sweet celebration in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Batter

  • 1 box Funfetti cake mix
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or canola oil)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs

Toppings

  • Homemade whipped cream
  • Maple syrup
  • Sprinkles
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Caramel sauce


Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Using a hand mixer or a whisk, combine the Funfetti cake mix, vegetable oil, milk, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, ensuring an even texture for your waffles.
  2. Preheat and cook waffles: Heat your waffle maker to medium-high heat. When hot, pour approximately ¾ cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the waffles are golden and cooked through. Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  3. Serve: Serve the waffles hot, topped generously with homemade whipped cream, maple syrup, colorful sprinkles, and drizzles of chocolate or caramel sauce to enhance the birthday cake theme.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the waffle maker to prevent batter overflow during cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your waffle maker for optimal crispness.
  • You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative if desired.
  • Store leftover waffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
  • For an extra fluffy texture, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks before folding them into the batter.
