Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Buttermilk
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Red Food Coloring
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar (optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Assorted Fresh Berries (Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If not non-stick, brush with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar (if using) until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Keep Waffles Warm: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200°F (95°C) to keep warm.
  7. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine very cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  8. Assemble and Serve: Serve warm waffles topped with whipped cream and a colorful assortment of fresh berries. Optionally dust with powdered sugar.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overmixing the batter to keep waffles tender. Use gel food coloring for a vibrant red hue. Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days or freeze for 1-2 months.
