Vanilla Cake Waffles

These vanilla cake mix waffles are the ultimate easy treat. Served with a dollop of ice cream, fresh berries and drizzled with syrup they are any dessert lover’s dream.

So here’s something you might not know about me, I love a good boxed cake mix. Yes, of course I bake cakes from scratch but there are just times when you need the ease and efficiency of a good cake mix. Not to mention that they are fool-proof and can make anyone feel like a master baker.

Most of the time I jazz up boxed/ pre-pack cake mixes with fresh fruit and my own buttercream but today is not that day. Today we are not even baking a cake with our cake mix. Today we are making waffles that are so good, I dare you to stop at only one.

 When the team from Golden Cloud asked me to come up with a spectacular recipe using their cake or muffin mix range I accepted without hesitation. Because I knew exactly what I was going to make. I’ve been wanting to make cake mix waffles for the longest time and guys, it was worth the wait.

Golden Cloud’s vanilla cake mix resulted in light, fluffy, perfectly golden waffles that just begged to be topped with a dollop of ice cream. That is the joy of their ready-to-mix range. It is so crazy versatile and definitely not only suited to its intended purpose. Check out their Facebook page for more inspiration:  https://www.facebook.com/GoldenCloudFlourSA/
