Book group at my house last night out on the patio to discuss “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr, the 2015 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction, not a bad read you should check it out but I digress, from the food!  Decided to make this little piece of heaven which was outstanding!  Bob had a piece and texted me saying that it is one of his new all time favorite cakes!  It was pretty dreamy and it makes 2 cakes!  It’s a Six Sisters’ Stuff recipe, so you should try both the book and the cake, but then again I’m not the boss of you but if I was . . .

waffles:

1 chocolate cake mix plus ingredients to make cake

filling:

2 cups whipping cream

4 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix

4 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 1/2 cups diced strawberries

frosting:

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/3 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon cocoa

1 1/3 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

garnish:

1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries

1 Hershey’s chocolate bar

1  Prepare cake mix as directed on box.  Heat Belgian waffle iron and spray with cooking spray.  Use generous 1/2 cup batter to make 6 waffles.  (I used a 1/2 cup and came up with 8 not quite full waffles so make sure it’s a full 1/2 cup.)  Remove and let cool.

2  Beat together whipping cream, pudding mix and powdered sugar until thick then fold in diced strawberries.

3  Place 1 waffle on serving platter, top with whipped cream and repeat 2 more times then assemble the second cake in the same way.

4  Make frosting by beating together all frosting ingredients adding more sugar or milk to get desired consistency.

5  Carefully spread half of the frosting on each cake.  Top with sliced strawberries and grated chocolate.
