Chocolate Chip Cake Waffles {Dessert}

If you need a quick chocolate cake fix and don't want to wait the 40 minutes of bake time this is the dessert for you! My kids loved this fun take on chocolate cake. Sweetened whipped cream, a chocolate drizzle and the ever favorite strawberry slices made it extra special.

The great thing is the options are endless. Any flavor cake mix will do...yellow, lemon, cherry, spice etc. And add-ins could include: toffee chips, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, chopped nuts, m&m's, coconut and so on. Come to think of it, I'm a little curious how brownie batter would do in the waffle iron? Better get on that pronto! In the meantime here's our version...

Chocolate Chip Cake Waffles

1 chocolate cake mix (I used chocolate fudge. German chocolate or Devil's food would work nicely)

Ingredients called for in cake mix directions

Chocolate chips

Sweetened whipped cream

Chocolate syrup for drizzling (caramel or berry puree would be terrific too)

Strawberries or sliced bananas for garnish

Cooking spray

Begin heating waffle iron. Make cake mix as directed. When waffle iron is hot, spray with cooking spray (do this step each time) and pour in prepared cake batter. Sprinkle with chocolate chips before closing. Cook per manufacturers directions. When done top with whipped cream, strawberry or banana slices, chocolate, caramel, or berry puree drizzle. (or all 3!) Serve immediately. Leftover waffles will keep just like left-over cake or cupcakes would.
