Instructions
- Prepare Your Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If not non-stick, brush with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and white vinegar until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Keep Waffles Warm: Place cooked waffles on a wire rack set over a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200°F (95°C) to keep warm.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine very cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble and Serve: Serve warm waffles topped with whipped cream and a colorful assortment of fresh berries. Optionally dust with powdered sugar.
