Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, combine 1 ¾ cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ½ cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing for airy Red Velvet Marble Waffles.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, mix 1 ¾ cups of buttermilk, 1 large egg, ½ cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of red food coloring. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to maintain fluffiness.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 5 to 10 minutes. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
  4. Pour alternating spoonfuls of the classic and red velvet batters onto the center of the hot iron. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a beautiful marbled pattern.
  5. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for around 4 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron and keep them warm in a low oven set to 200°F (93°C). Serve immediately with toppings like whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
