Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • Pink food coloring (gel or liquid, as needed)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 23 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 12 tsp rose water
  • Few drops pink food coloring (optional, for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with nonstick spray or melted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, buttermilk, oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, and vinegar. Add pink food coloring until desired shade is reached.
  4. In another clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form (about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter with a rubber spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
  7. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter onto the preheated waffle iron (amount may vary by iron size). Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, until waffles are golden at the edges and cooked through.
  8. Carefully remove waffles and place on a cooling rack to keep them crisp while finishing the batch.
  9. In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and rose water until soft peaks form. Add a few drops pink food coloring if desired and whip to firm peaks. Taste and adjust sweetness or rose flavor.
  10. Serve waffles warm, topped with rose whipped cream and fresh berries or edible rose petals if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and buttermilk. Gel food coloring gives the most vibrant pink. Fold egg whites gently for fluffiness. Rose water is potent—start with less and adjust to taste. Waffles can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with simple substitutions. Keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F oven for extra crispness.
