Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces ice cream cones (flat-bottomed)
- 1 box cake mix (boxed or homemade)
- 1 cups water
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 3 pieces eggs
- 1 container frosting (your choice of flavor)
- 0.5 cups sprinkles or toppings
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare a muffin tin by placing one flat-bottomed ice cream cone in each cup to help them stand upright.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the package or recipe directions. Typically, this involves combining the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth.
Carefully spoon the batter into each ice cream cone, filling them about two-thirds full to allow room for the cake to rise.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cone comes out clean.
Remove the cakes in cones from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cones are fully cooled, use a spatula or piping bag to spread or pipe frosting on top of each cake.
Decorate with sprinkles or your favorite toppings for a festive touch.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
