Dark Chocolate Cake Waffles. Or rich, chocolate cake transformed into waffles with a Nutella Ganache. Whatever. These waffles are breakfast or dessert and so decadent — with no complicated steps to getting them perfectly fluffy and crispy!

Since Mothers Day is a spoil-me-day, I wanted all of the families out there to be spoilt too with this amazing recipe that is so light, fluffy and a decadent change to your daily diet! Dark Chocolate Cake Waffles has now entered your brain!

The problem with having kids on school break at home with you is that they want miracles for breakfast. I offer healthy eggs with wilted spinach and grilled tomatoes, and they look at me like I’m speaking a foreign language. Foreign being ‘the language of healthy eating when they feel they’re on some sort of vacation’. Did you know school holidays means mum becomes personal chef and dishwasher 6-8 times a day? How do I know this? Well, when I accidentally on purpose ignore their requests for pancakes AGAIN, instead giving them healthy — I get the whole, ‘but I didn’t order this?’ Um, excuse me.

An exception was made with these, however. I was asked (ordered) to bake a chocolate cake one morning…yes, for breakfast…and made waffles. Dark Chocolate Cake Waffles. What? No sullen looks were thrown back at me. Instead, I was met with wide eyed smiles with pride and satisfaction. Chocolate fixes everything.

To make these extra special, I drizzled them in my homemade Nutella turned into a ganache with added milk whisked through. And maybe some ice cream made its way on there. How did that happen?

A good looooooooong walk and hours of sugar-high regret came afterwards.

With Mother’s Day coming up soon, I thought these Dark Chocolate Cake Waffles would be perfect.

Spoil her with chocolate cake for breakfast. And if you’re a mother waiting for your Mother’s Day? Print the recipe out and paste it to every wall, kitchen cupboard and fridge door so it gets noticed. If that fails, shove it in their faces.
