Dessert is one thing I know will bring a smile to everyone’s face and this Texas sheet cake is one of my favorites along with these chocolate dipped chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate dipped cake pops.

Have you ever just had a craving for cake for breakfast?
I know my daughter would do anything to eat cake so I made this waffle cake for her to enjoy one morning as a surprise.
Three yellow cakes stacked high with a buttermilk waffle baked right inside each layer;
Then topped with butter that melts right into the waffle honeycomb and is drenched in maple syrup.
When I pulled the waffle cake out of the oven she couldn’t believe her eyes, and at the age of 2-1/2 this was the tallest cake she has ever seen.
She couldn’t wait to have a piece!
How to make a waffle cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly spray 3 round 8 inch pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Using your favorite yellow cake mix prepare as directions state and pour equal amounts into prepared cake rounds. Place one frozen waffle on top of batter and gently press down.
- Then bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from center of cake.
- Allow to cool briefly, remove from pans and top the first layer with butter and maple syrup. Repeat butter and maple syrup layers as you stack the cakes on top of each other. Serve and enjoy.
