Ingredients:

Whipped Chocolate Ganache

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet

Waffle Cake Batter

1/2 cup salted butter softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

Toppings

1 pound strawberries

Directions:

Make the ganache: bring 1 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once simmering, stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Transfer to refrigerator to cool until it reaches a spoon-able consistency, about 1 hour. Once cooled, use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it reaches soft peaks. Ganache will stiffen when returned to the refrigerator. Make the waffle batter: beat together butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add in buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add in flour and baking powder and mix on a low speed until just combined. Scoop a heaping 2/3 cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Cook waffles one at a time. Assemble cake: layer the cake with at least 4 waffles, frosted with whipped ganache between each layer. Garnish with fresh berries.
