Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring (gel preferred)
  • 6 ounces (170g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar with buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
  5. Lightly grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about ¾ cup (180ml) batter onto the center, close the lid, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until waffles are crisp outside and tender inside.
  6. While waffles cook, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, milk, and melted butter until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  7. Serve waffles immediately, stacked and generously drizzled with cream cheese syrup. Optionally, garnish with powdered sugar or fresh berries.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles fluffy. Preheat waffle iron thoroughly for crispy edges. Keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven on a wire rack to maintain crispness. For extra fluffiness, optionally beat egg whites separately and fold in gently.
