Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Boxed cake mix (any flavor)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 24 pieces Flat-bottomed ice cream cones
- 2 cups Buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- as needed Food coloring (optional)
- as needed Sprinkles or other decorations
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with aluminum foil to stabilize the ice cream cones.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the boxed cake mix, combining the mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water.
Whisk or mix the batter with an electric mixer until smooth and free of lumps.
Place one ice cream cone in each muffin tin cavity and carefully fill each cone about 2/3 full with cake batter. Do not overfill to avoid overflow during baking.
Gently transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Remove the cones from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
If desired, divide the buttercream frosting into separate bowls and tint them with food coloring to create different colors.
Using a piping bag fitted with a star or round tip, frost each cone to resemble an ice cream swirl.
Top the frosted cones with sprinkles or your favorite decorations for added flair.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
