It’s my birthday and I’ll cry eat all the cake if I want to!
For this special bday cake {yes I made my own cake!}, I combined some of my favorite things: chocolate, strawberries, Nutella, and waffles! I was inspired by a video I saw last year from My Cupcake Addiction and decided to create my own at home. This recipe looks impressive and will make any chocolate lover drool! Serve it for a birthday or just about any celebration.
Ingredients:
- 1 family size box of brownie mix
- 2 eggs, according to the back of the box
- 1/4 cup water, according to the back of the box
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil, according to the back of the box
- 1 medium sized tub of Nutella
- 16oz container of strawberries, stems removed and sliced
Directions:
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- In a large bowl mix together the brownie mix and additional ingredients from the back of the box {usually water, oil, and eggs}
- Spray nonstick spray onto the waffle maker so that it’s well coated.
- Place a large spoonful into each waffle section. Do not overfill.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until waffle maker ready light is on.
- Remove waffles to a plate to cool and repeat with remaining mix.
- Spoon Nutella into a zip top bag and cut off a corner tip.
- When waffles have cooked and cooled add a dollop of Nutella to the center of a platter or cake stand. This will help secure the waffles.
- Place one waffle in the center of the platter.
- Drizzle Nutella over the waffle.
- Add strawberries so it covers the entire top of the waffle and so the tips of the strawberries poke out from the waffle.
- Drizzle more Nutella over the strawberries.
- Place another waffle on top to make a waffle sandwich. Repeat the previous two steps until you’ve stacked your waffle cake four waffles high.
- On your top layer, fill in the waffle squares entirely so that it’s completely covered.
- Pipe Nutella over the edges so that it looks like the Nutella is dripping down the sides of the cake.
- Top with a couple of strawberries on top and serve.

If you love chocolate and berries like I do, then this is the cake for you!
It’s strawberry season here in Louisiana and we are loving it!
For this recipe, to get the stacked waffle cake, I used a family size box of fudge brownie mix.
This will make a very tall cake or you will have leftover waffles for breakfast the next day.
I used our square Belgian waffle maker.
