cake cooked in a waffle iron?
I have an idea for a birthday cake for my brother, which involves cooking the cake in a waffle iron. I know I did this several years ago, but can't remember what kind of recipe I used, or how it turned out. My original thought was for a basic yellow cake, but now I'm thinking that a chiffon or sponge cake might be better.
Has anyone done this before? What was your experience -- do you have any advice or suggestions?

what a great idea...I cant wait to hear how this turns out. Are you planning on icing and stacking the waffles or are you going to build something with the waffles?

It is my plan to layer the waffles with vanilla custard, then top with fresh peaches.

Right on! Sounds cool papillon;
I would do the vanilla custard as well, make sure that you make some home-made whipping cream and you could sprinkle some amaretto cookies or granola in one of the layers.
So with the basic yellow cake batter; how is it that you prevent it from sticking/burning/melting in the iron? I would like to attempt this.

Vanilla cream custard and peaches sound delicious! I might try this using a sweetened corn muffin mix..thanks for the great idea.
