INGREDIENTS

For waffles

• 500g plain flour or gluten-free flour
• 2 tbsp. baking powder
• 125g (½ cup) vegan butter, plus extra for the waffle iron
• 125g cup sugar of choice
• 1 2/3 cup almond milk or other plant-based milk made with the NutraMilk

For waffle cake

• Fresh strawberries
• Coconut whipped cream or other vegan whipped cream
• Chocolate nut butter made with the NutraMilk

For almond milk

• 1 cup (150g) almonds
• 1 quart (946ml) water

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making fresh almond milk with the NutraMilk:
• Place almonds in the NutraMilk container.
• Press Butter cycle, set for 7 minutes.
• Press Start.
• Add water and replace lid.
• Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
• Press Start.
• Press Dispense, open spigot and fill your container with almond milk.

• Mix the flour and baking powder with ½ tsp salt in a bowl. Mix the vegan butter with the caster sugar in a separate bowl.
• Pour milk gradually into the dry ingredients, continually stirring, then add the butter and sugar mixture and keep stirring to form a smooth batter. Add a little more water or almond milk if the mixture is very thick – you should be able to spoon it out.

• Heat the waffle iron. Butter both sides of the waffle iron.
• Spoon about 3 tbsp. of the batter into the hot waffle iron, close and cook for 4-6 mins until golden brown (the time will vary depending on your waffle iron). Remove the finished waffle and cook the rest of the batter in the same way.

• To assemble cake: spread coconut whipped cream in between each layer. Garnish with fresh strawberries and chocolate nut butter made with the NutraMilk or any toppings you like.
