Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi)
  • Fruit puree (optional, for drizzling)

How to Make Stacked Waffle Cake with Cream and Fruit

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease it lightly if needed.
  5. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (about 1 cup, depending on the size of your iron) and cook until golden brown, typically 4-5 minutes. Repeat until you have three waffles.
  6. While the waffles cool slightly, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Place one waffle on a serving plate, spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top, and add a portion of mixed fresh fruit.
  8. Add a second waffle on top and repeat the process with more cream and fruit. Top with the final waffle and finish with a dollop of cream and a vibrant assortment of fruit on top.
  9. If desired, drizzle with fruit puree for an extra touch of sweetness.
  10. Slice into wedges and serve immediately, enjoying the layers of flavor and texture!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your waffle iron is preheated for even cooking.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for fluffy waffles.
  • Feel free to experiment with different fruits based on the season.
  • For added flavor, mix a tablespoon of lemon zest into the whipped cream.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • Use flavored extracts, like almond or coconut, for a unique twist in the batter.
  • Swap out the heavy cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter topping.
  • Add chocolate chips to the waffle batter for a decadent touch.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory balance.
  • Freshly brewed coffee or a fruity mimosa to complement the sweetness.
  • Maple syrup or honey for an extra drizzle of sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover waffles and cream separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat waffles in a toaster or oven until warm. Rewhip cream if necessary before serving.
