Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with a small amount of vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter (varies according to your waffle iron) into the center of the iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffle is set and slightly crisp on the edges, usually about 3-4 minutes. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
As the waffles are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each session, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
To assemble the cake, place one waffle on a cake plate or serving platter. Spread a thin layer of ganache on top. Repeat the process by stacking waffles and spreading ganache between each, creating a layered cake.
For the final touch, pour the remaining ganache over the top of the waffle stack, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the cake sit for about 10 minutes to allow the ganache to set slightly. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Slice into wedges and serve. Enjoy your Waffle Chocolate Cake!
