The Maple Belgian Waffle Cake by Sprinkle Bakes creatively transforms the sweet breakfast dish into a grandiose torte that features freshly made waffles infused directly into the layers of sponge. The dessert is then topped with melted butter and gooey maple syrup to offer a hybrid meal that is both worthy to be called dessert as well as breakfast.
The waffle cake can either be made using fresh or frozen waffles that are inserted into the centre of maple syrup cake batter and baked so that the waffles are infused within each layer. The tiers are decorated with a layer of melted butter and more maple syrup that soaks into the sponge to create a sweet and moist dessert. The cake can be served as is, without need for any icing.
