Choose Your Own Adventure: Waffles or Cake?

This recipe reminds me of one of those choose your own adventure books from my youth. If you decide to make Belgium Waffles turn to page 4. If you decide to bake a Vanilla Bundt Cake, turn to page 7. No matter the decision, you are going to end up with a delicious, buttery treat. I hope you enjoy.

Recipe: Belgian Waffles or Vanilla Bundt Cake

Recipe From: Paris Pastry

Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 5 eggs
- 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour


Instructions:
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one by one, beating well after each addition. Add the flour in two additions, mixing until well combined.


-This is the point where you have to make a decision...waffles or cake, waffles or cake, waffles or cake? If you picked waffles proceed to A. If you picked cake proceed to B.


A) Waffles
- Preheat waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spoon enough batter for your waffle iron's size and cook until golden brown. 
-The waffles turn out very nice and buttery. They taste great with just powdered sugar or you can top with warm maple syrup.

B) Vanilla Bundt Cake

- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare Belgian Waffles batter and add ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons milk to the batter.
- Pour batter into a buttered Bundt pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before unmolding.

-I did not butter my Bundt pan, but used Pam Baking spray instead.

All this cake needs is powdered sugar and it's ready to go!

I hope that no matter the choice you make, waffles or cake, you will be pleased with the result.
