Ingredients You'll Need:
For the Waffles:
●    1½ cups all-purpose flour

●    2 tbsp cocoa powder

●    2 tbsp granulated sugar

●    1 tsp baking powder

●    ½ tsp baking soda

●    A pinch of salt

●    1¼ cups milk

●    ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

●    1 tsp vanilla extract

●    1 large egg

For the Truffle Filling:
●    200g dark or semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)

●    ½ cup heavy cream

●    1 tbsp butter

For Garnish (optional but recommended!):
●    Chocolate shavings

●    Chopped nuts (like hazelnuts or almonds)

●    Fresh berries

●    Whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream


Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Truffle Ganache
1.    Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just starts to simmer (don’t boil).

2.    Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a bowl.

3.    Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then add butter and stir until smooth and glossy.

4.    Let it cool slightly and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to thicken.

Step 2: Prepare the Waffle Batter
1.    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2.    In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and egg.

3.    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Step 3: Cook the Waffles
1.    Preheat your waffle maker and grease it lightly.

2.    Pour enough batter to cover the surface (don’t overfill!) and cook until crisp and cooked through.

3.    Let the waffles cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 4: Assemble the Truffle Waffle Cake
1.    Place one waffle as the base on a plate or cake stand.

2.    Spread a generous layer of the chocolate truffle ganache.

3.    Repeat the layering process (waffle + ganache) until all waffles are stacked.

4.    Pour remaining ganache on top, letting it drip down the sides for that dramatic effect!


Final Touch – Garnishing!
Top the cake with chocolate curls, chopped nuts, or fresh fruits. For an extra decadent treat, add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream on each slice.

Pro Tips:
●    Want a richer flavor? Add a dash of coffee to the ganache.

●    You can also flavor the waffles with a bit of orange zest for a tangy twist.

●    If you’re short on time, use store-bought waffles and focus on making the ganache!
