How to Make Stacked Waffle Cake with Creamy Drizzle
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease lightly if necessary.
- Pour the recommended amount of batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the waffles on a plate as you go.
- While the waffles are cooking, prepare the creamy drizzle. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons of milk until you achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Once all waffles are made, stack them in layers, drizzling some of the creamy sauce between each layer and on top. If desired, garnish with fresh berries or sliced bananas.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious creation!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your waffle maker is fully preheated for crispy waffles.
- Do not overmix the batter; this keeps the waffles fluffy.
- Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier mixing.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or nuts to the waffle batter for extra flavor.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- Experiment with different extracts, like almond or maple, in your drizzle.
What to Serve With It
