Waffle Iron Fail!

There's so many cute tutorials on things you can successfully "bake" in your waffle iron.  Biscuits, cookies, brownies...

I got it in my head the other morning to try to do angel food cake - who doesn't love angel food cake?  I'd eat it for breakfast any day, and in waffle form, no one questions it!

I got my things together:

Mixed it up. I cut the water down by a third, or else it would be too runny.

It started setting up nicely:

And then:

What do waffle irons need most in the world? OIL. What are angel food cakes notoriously free of? OIL.

Alas.  It was not to be. Doh!  I should've know it wouldn't work. Just a little bit of brain power would've saved me for disaster.

So I gave up and make Cars shaped cakes for breakfast.

I'm still a winner in my house - I let them have cake for breakfast.

If anyone knows a way to make waffle iron angel food cake work let me know!  For now I'll just count it as a total fail and a lesson learned.!
